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deviceswhere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.
