4D-Link DWA-110 Quick Install Guide
The DWA-110 lets you access your stored data and media les using a
wireless connection from virtually anywhere within the operating range of
your wireless network. Keep in mind, however, that the number, thickness
and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals
must pass through, may limit the range. Typical ranges vary depending on
the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your
home or business. The key to maximizing wireless range is to follow these
basic guidelines:
4
Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the DWA-110 other
network devices to a minimum - each wall or ceiling can reduce your
DWA-110’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position your devices
so that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized.
1
Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5
feet thick (.5 meters), at a 45-degree angle appears to be almost 3 feet (1
meter) thick. At a 2-degree angle it looks over 42 feet (14 meters) thick!
Position devices so that the signal will travel straight through a wall or
ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better reception.

3
Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical
devices or appliances that generate RF noise.
Building Materials make a difference. A solid metal door or aluminum
studs may have a negative effect on range. Try to position access points,
wireless routers, and computers so that the signal passes through drywall
or open doorways. Materials and objects such as glass, steel, metal,
walls with insulation, water (sh tanks), mirrors, le cabinets, brick, and
concrete will degrade your wireless signal.
If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones or X-10 (wireless products
such as ceiling fans, lights, and home security systems), your wireless
connection may degrade dramatically or drop completely. Make sure
your 2.4GHz phone base is as far away from your wireless devices as
possible. The base transmits a signal even if the phone in not in use.
