Wireless Installation Considerations
The D-Link Wireless Network Camera lets you access your network using a wireless connection from anywhere within the operating range of your
wirelessnetwork.However,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:
1. Minimizethenumberofwallsandceilingsbetweenyouradapterandothernetworkdevices(suchasyourNetworkCamera)-each
wallorceilingcanreduceyouradapter’srangefrom3-90feet(1-30meters).
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your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 dierence. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may weaken the wireless signal. Try to position your
accesspoints,wirelessrouters,andothernetworkingdeviceswhere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.
4. Keepyourproductatleast3-6feetor1-2metersawayfromelectricaldevicesorappliancesthatgenerateRFnoise.
5. Ifyouareusing2.4GHzcordlessphonesorotherradiofrequencysources(suchasmicrowaveovens),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.
