Appendix A - Wireless Basics

  

Wireless technology is expanding everywhere not just at home or office. People like the freedom of mobility and it’s 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 “hotspots”.

Using a D-Link wireless desktop adapter with your laptop, you can access the hotspot to connect to Internet from remote locations 

like: Airports, Hotels, Coffee Shops, Libraries, Restaurants, and Convention Centers.

Wireless network is easy to setup, but if you’re installing it for the first time it could be quite a task not knowing where to start. That’s 

why we’ve put together a few setup steps and tips to help you through the process of setting up a wireless network.

Here are a few things to keep in mind, when you install a wireless network.

  

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 two-story 

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 

point. This would significantly reduce any interference that the appliances might cause since they operate on same frequency.
