Mounting the Antenna
Because the PCI card is a radio device, it is susceptible to RF obstructions and 
common sources of interference that can reduce throughput and range.
Follow these guidelines to ensure the best performance:
Place the antenna in an area where large steel structures such as shelving 
units, bookcases, and filing cabinets will not obstruct radio signals being 
transmitted or received.
Place the antenna away from microwave ovens and 2.4- and 5.8-GHz 
cordless phones. These products can cause signal interference because 
they operate in the same frequency range as the PCI card.
Follow the instructions in this section to position the PCI card’s antenna on a 
flat horizontal surface or to mount it to a wall.
Step 1
If you want to use the antenna on a flat horizontal surface, position 
the antenna so it is pointing straight up and go to Step 7. If you want 
to mount the antenna to a wall, go to Step 2.
Step 2
Drill two holes in the wall that are 1.09 in. (2.8 cm) apart. Figure 5 
shows the distance between the mounting holes on the bottom of the 
antenna base.
Step 3
Tap the two supplied wall anchors into the holes.
Step 4
Drive the two supplied screws into the wall anchors, leaving a small 
gap between the screw head and the anchor.
