Wireless Installation Considerations
The D-Link wireless adapter lets you access your network 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
VQOCZKOK\KPIYKTGNGUUTCPIGKUVQHQNNQYVJGUGDCUKEIWKFGNKPGU
1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the D-Link adapter and other network devices to a
OKPKOWOGCEJYCNNQTEGKNKPIECPTGFWEG[QWTCFCRVGTŏUTCPIGHTQOHGGV OGVGTU 2QUKVKQP
[QWTFGXKEGUUQVJCVVJGPWODGTQHYCNNUQTEGKNKPIUKUOKPKOK\GF
2. 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. 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

generate RF noise.

Wireless users can use the same applications they use on a wired network. Wireless adapter cards used on laptop
and desktop systems support the same protocols as Ethernet adapter cards.
Under many circumstances, it may be desirable for mobile network devices to link to a conventional Ethernet LAN in
order to use servers, printers or an Internet connection supplied through the wired LAN. A Wireless Router is a device
used to provide this link.

In a wireless local area network, a device called an Access Point (AP) connects computers to the network.
The access point has a small antenna attached to it, which allows it to transmit data back and forth over
radio signals. With an indoor access point as seen in the picture, the signal can travel up to 300 feet.
With an outdoor access point the signal can reach out up to 30 miles to serve places like manufacturing
plants, industrial locations, college and high school campuses, airports, golf courses, and many other
outdoor venues.
