Wireless Installation Considerations

The DAP-1665 wireless access point lets you access your network using a wireless connection from virtually anywhere within

the operating range of the device. 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 D-Link access point and other network devices to a

minimum. Each wall or ceiling can reduce your adapter’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position your

devices so that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized.

• 2. Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick (.5 meters), at a

45-degree angle appears to be almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick. At a 2-degree angle it appears over 42 feet (14

meters) thick! Position devices so that the signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an

angle) for better reception.

• 3. Building materials make a dierence. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative eect on

range. Try to position access points, wireless routers, and computers so that the signal passes through drywall

or open doorways. Materials and objects such as glass, steel, metal, walls with insulation, water (sh tanks),

mirrors, le cabinets, brick, and concrete will degrade your wireless signal.

• 4. Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances that generate

RF noise.

• 5. If you are using 2.4 GHz cordless phones or X-10 (wireless products such as ceiling fans, lights, and home

security systems), your wireless connection may also be aected. Make sure your 2.4 GHz phone base is as far

away from your wireless devices as possible. The base transmits a signal even if the phone is not in use.
