Steps to improve wireless connectivity

There are a number of factors that can impact the range of wireless devices. Follow

these tips to help improve your wireless connectivity:

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.

TRENDnet User’s Guide TEW-MFP1

7. 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.

8. Make sure that your router is in a good location.

a. For the widest coverage area, install your router near the center of your

home, and near the ceiling, if possible.

b. Avoid placing the router on or near metal objects (such as file cabinets and

metal furniture), reflective surfaces (such as glass or mirrors), and masonry

walls.

c. Any obstruction can weaken the wireless signal (even non-metallic

objects), so the fewer obstructions between the router and the wireless

device, the better.

d. Place the router in a location away from other electronics, motors, and

fluorescent lighting.

e. Many environmental variables can affect the router’s performance, so if

your wireless signal is weak, place the router in several locations and test

the signal strength to determine the ideal position.

If possible, upgrade wireless network interfaces (such as wireless cards in computers)

from older wireless standards to 802.11n. If a wirelessly networked device uses an older

standard, the performance of the entire wireless network may be slower. If you are still

experiencing low or no signal consider repositioning the wireless devices or installing

additional access point.
