Notes on Wireless LAN Configuration 
 
When configuring a wireless LAN (WLAN), be sure to note the following points: 
•  Optimize the performance of the WLAN by ensuring that the distance 
between access points is not too far. In most buildings, WLAN Adapters 
operate within a range of 100 ~ 300 feet, depending on the thickness and 
structure of the walls.   
•  Radio waves can pass through walls and glass but not metal. If there is 
interference in transmitting through a wall, it may be that the wall has 
reinforcing metal in its structure. Install another access point to circumvent 
this problem. 
•  Floors usually have metal girders and metal reinforcing struts that interfere 
with WLAN transmission. 
 
This concludes the first chapter.  The next chapter deals with the hardware 
installation of the Adapter.
