Installation Considerations
The D-Link Air DWL-520 lets you access your network, using a wireless
connection, from virtually anywhere. Keep in mind, however, that the number,
thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals
must pass through, may limit the range. Typical ranges vary depending on the
types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or
business. The key to maximizing wireless range is to follow these basic
guidelines:
1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the DWL-520 and
other network devices to a minimum - each wall or ceiling can reduce
your D-Link Air Wireless product's range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.)
Position your devices so that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized.
