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
QBTTUISPVHI NBZMJNJUUIFSBOHF5ZQJDBMSBOHFTWBSZEFQFOEJOHPOUIFUZQFTPGNBUFSJBMTBOECBDLHSPVOE3' SBEJPGSFRVFODZ OPJTFJOZPVS
home or business. The key to maximizing wireless range is to follow these basic guidelines:
1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the D-Link adapter and other network devices to a minimum - each wall or ceiling
can reduce your adapterâs range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position your devices so that the number of walls or ceilings is
minimized.
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.

5. 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.

Personal Area Network (WPAN).
Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)
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, 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.
Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN)
BluetoothÂŽ is the industry standard wireless technology used for WPAN. Bluetooth devices in WPAN operate in a range up to 30
feet away.
Compared to WLAN the speed and wireless operation range are both less than WLAN, but in return it doesnât use nearly as much
power which makes it ideal for personal devices, such as mobile phones, PDAs, headphones, laptops, speakers, and other devices
that operate on batteries.

Where is wireless used?
Wireless technology is expanding everywhere not just at home or the office. People like the freedom of mobility and itâs becoming
so popular that more and more public facilities now provide wireless access to attract people. The wireless connection in public
places is usually called âhotspotsâ.
Using a D-Link USB Adapter with your laptop, you can access the hotspot to connect to the Internet from remote locations like:

Thatâs why weâve put together a few setup steps and tips to help you through the process of setting up a wireless network.
Tips
Here are a few things to keep in mind, when you install a wireless network.
Centralize your router or Access Point
Make sure you place the router/access point in a centralized location within your network for the best performance. Try to place
the router/access point as high as possible in the room, so the signal gets dispersed throughout your home. If you have a twostory home, you may need a repeater to boost the signal to extend the range.
Eliminate Interference
Place home appliances such as cordless telephones, microwaves, and televisions as far away as possible from the router/access

Wireless Modes
There are basically two modes of networking:
t Infrastructure â All wireless clients will connect to an access point or wireless router.
t Ad-Hoc â Directly connecting to another computer, for peer-to-peer communication, using wireless network adapters on each
computer.
An Infrastructure network contains an Access Point or wireless router. All the wireless devices, or clients, will connect to the wireless router or access
point.
An Ad-Hoc network contains only clients, such as laptops with wireless USB Adapters. All the adapters must be in Ad-Hoc mode to communicate.

After you install your new D-Link wireless adapter and have established a wireless connection, by default, the TCP/IP settings should be set to obtain
an IP address from a DHCP server (i.e., router) automatically. To verify your IP address, please follow the steps below.

Caution:
The device for the band 5150-5250 MHz is only for indoor usage to reduce potential for harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems.
