Tips
Here are a few things to keep in mind, when you install a wireless network.
Centralize Your Router or Access Point
  
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 and 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 will significantly reduce any interference that appliances operating on the same frequency 
might cause.
Security 
  
Don’t let your next-door neighbors or intruders connect to your wireless network. Secure your wireless network by 
turning on the WPA or WEP security feature on the router. Refer to the product manual for detailed information on 
how to set it up.
