INSTALLATIONCONSIDERATIONS There are a number of factors that can impact the range of wireless devices.  1.  Adjust your wireless devices so that the signal is traveling in a straight path, rather than at an angle.    The more material the signal has to pass through the more signal you will lose. 2.  Keep the number of obstructions to a minimum. Each obstruction can reduce the range of a wireless device.    Position the wireless devices in a manner that will minimize the amount of obstructions between them. 3.  Building materials can have a large impact on your wireless signal. In an indoor environment, try to position the wireless devices so that the signal passes through less dense material such as dry wall.    Dense materials like metal, solid wood, glass or even furniture may block or degrade the signal. 4.  Antenna orientation can also have a large impact on your wireless signal. Use the wireless adapter’s site survey tool to determine the best antenna orientation for your wireless devices. 5.  Interference from devices that produce RF (radio frequency) noise can also impact your signal. Position your wireless devices away from anything that generates RF noise, such as microwaves, radios and baby monitors.   6.  Any device operating on the 2.4GHz frequency will cause interference. Devices such as 2.4GHz cordless phones or other wireless remotes operating on the 2.4GHz frequency can potentially drop the wireless signal.    Although the phone may not be in use, the base can still transmit wireless signal.    Move the phone’s base station as far away as possible from your wireless devices.   If you are still experiencing low or no signal consider repositioning the wireless devices or installing additional access points.    The use of higher gain antennas may also provide the necessary coverage depending on the environment.        Page 11

When this mode is disabled, you must enter the Wireless Network Name (SSID) on the client manually to connect to the network.  Frequency (Channel) A wireless network uses specific channels in the wireless spectrum to handle communication between clients. Some channels in your area may have interference from other electronic devices. Choose the clearest channel to help optimize the performance and coverage of your wireless network.           Page 31
WDS Mode When WDS is enabled, this access point functions as a wireless bridge and is able to wirelessly communicate with other access points via WDS links. A WDS link is bidirectional; both end points must support WDS and each access point must know the MAC Address of the other. Each access point will be configured with the remote access point’s MAC address and vice versa. Make sure all access points are configured with the same SSID, channel and wireless encryption settings.            WDS configuration option enabled        Operating Mode If you have both wireless g and wireless n client devices included on your wireless network at the same time, you should choose Mixed Mode. And if you only have wireless n client devices on your wireless network, you can choose Green Field to enjoy high throughput. Channel Bandwidth The "20/40” MHz option is usually best. The other option is available for special circumstances.   Guard Interval Using “Auto” option can increase throughput. However, it can also increase error rate in some installations, due to increased sensitivity to radio-frequency reflections. Select the option that works best for your installation.  Page 32
MCS The Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) is a value that determines the modulation, coding and number of spatial channels. This parameter represents transmission rate. By default (Auto) the fastest possible transmission rate will be selected. You have the option of selecting the speed if necessary.  Fix MCS rate for HT rate 0-15 Reserve Direction Grant (RDG) Disable or enable reserve direction grant. Default is enabled. Extension Channel When 20/40 channel bandwidth has been chosen, you should select extension channel to get higher throughput.               Page 33
WirelessAdvanced    Beacon Interval Beacons are packets sent by a wireless Access Point to synchronize wireless devices. Specify a Beacon Period value between 20 and 1000. The default value is set to 100 milliseconds. Data Beacon Rate (DTIM) A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the wireless Access Point has buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. Wireless clients detect the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and multicast messages. The default value is 1. Valid settings are between 1 and 255.  Fragment Threshold This setting should remain at its default value of 2346. Setting the Fragmentation value too low may result in poor performance.  RTS Threshold Page 34
This setting should remain at its default value of 2347. If you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications to the value are recommended.
