Wireless Configuration

5-1

This chapter describes how to configure the wireless features of your WGX102 Wall-Plugged 
Range Extender. In planning your wireless network, you should consider the level of security 
required. You should also select the physical placement of your range extender in order to 
maximize the network speed. For further information on wireless networking, refer to 

The operating distance or range of your wireless connection can vary significantly based on the 
physical placement of the range extender. The latency, data throughput performance, and 
notebook power consumption of wireless adapters also vary depending on your configuration 
choices.

For best results, place your range extender:

•

Near the center of the area in which your computers will operate.

•

Away from sources of interference, such as computers, microwaves, and 2.4 GHz cordless 
phones.

•

Away from large metal surfaces.

The time it takes to establish a wireless connection can vary depending on both your security 
settings and placement. Connections using WEP or WPA can take slightly longer to establish. 
Also, WEP and WPA encryption can consume more battery power on a notebook computer.

Failure to follow these guidelines can result in significant performance 

degradation or inability to wirelessly connect to the range extender. For complete range/
performance specifications, please see
