Optimizing the Performance of Your Home Network
To get the best performance from your home network, you should
optimize each portion of the network, as well as place files in the network
where they will get the bandwidth their use will demand.
Optimizing Wireless Performance
The speed and operating distance or range of your wireless connection
can vary significantly based on the physical placement of the wireless
router. You should choose a location for your router that will maximize
the network speed.
The following list describes how to optimize wireless router performance.
Theoretical Raw Transfer Time
150 seconds
700 seconds
800 seconds
2700 seconds
144,000 seconds (40 hours)
Note: Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions
and environmental factors, including volume of
network traffic, building materials and construction,
and network overhead, can lower actual data
throughput rate.
Note: Failure to follow these guidelines can result in
significant performance degradation or inability to
wirelessly connect to the router. For complete range
and performance specifications, please see "Technical
Specifications" in Appendix A.
