Mobile Broadband 11n Wireless Router MBR1000 User Manual
Planning Your Wireless Network
For compliance and compatibility between similar products in your area, the operating
channel and region must be set correctly.
To configure the wireless network, you can either specify the wireless settings, or you can
use Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) to automatically set the SSID and implement WPA/WPA2
security.
• To manually configure the wireless settings, you must know the following:
- SSID. The default SSID for the router is NETGEAR-3G.
- The wireless mode (80.211n, 802.11g, or 802.11b) that each wireless adapter
supports.
- Wireless security option. To successfully implement wireless security, check each
wireless adapter to determine which wireless security option it supports.
See Manually Configuring Your Wireless Settings on page 27.
• Push 'N' Connect (WPS) implements WPA/WPA2 wireless security on the router and your
wireless computer or device at the same time. The wireless computer or device must be
compatible with WPS.
See Using Push 'N' Connect (WPS) to Configure Your Wireless Network on page 31.
Wireless Placement and Range Guidelines
The range of your wireless connection can vary significantly based on the physical placement
of the router. The latency, data throughput performance, and notebook power consumption of
wireless adapters also vary depending on your configuration choices.
For best results, place your router according to the following guidelines:
• Near the center of the area in which your PCs will operate.
• In an elevated location such as a high shelf where the wirelessly connected PCs have
line-of-sight access (even if through walls).
• Away from sources of interference, such as PCs, microwave ovens, and 2.4 GHz
cordless phones (see
Interference Reduction Table on page 104).
• Away from large metal surfaces.
• Put the antenna in a vertical position to provide the best side-to-side coverage. Put the
antenna in a horizontal position to provide the best up-and-down coverage.
• If using multiple access points, it is better if adjacent access points use different radio
frequency channels to reduce interference. The recommended channel spacing between
adjacent access points is 5 channels (for example, use Channels 1 and 6, or 6 and 11).
The time it takes to establish a wireless connection can vary depending on both your security
settings and placement. WEP connections can take slightly longer to establish. Also, WEP
encryption can consume more battery power on a notebook computer.
