Surveying your Environment:
Starting near the router, move your portable computer toward
◗
various points in your environment where you would like to
have wireless coverage, taking note of the signal strength and
connection speed as you move toward these locations.
Note areas where the signal strength begins to drop off.
◗
Ideally, you are looking to place the repeater within a radius
◗
before the signal begins to drop out. This will ensure
maximum repeated signal range and overall speed of your
connections. (See figure 2 for an example of repeater
placement).
Once you have located this spot, position the repeater and
◗
plug in the provided power adapter to the DC-IN connection
on the back of the device. Connect the other end of the power
adapter to a nearby power outlet.
The repeater will automatically connect to your Wireless
◗
Broadband Router within a few seconds of power being
applied.
You can now continue moving your portable to areas where
◗
you are wanting wireless coverage, continuing to take note of
signal quality and strength.
You may wish to experiment with repeater placement to see
◗
how your range and speed are affected.
