devices on you network.
I am only getting 3 or 4 wireless signal bars on my wireless computer and I am within 10 feet of the
wireless router.
1. Step back at least 10 feet from the High Power Router and check your signal again. The High
Power Router emits high power, long range Wi-Fi signals that may confuse your wireless
adapter signal reading at close range. The speed and signal are at 100%, however your readout
may not be displaying the data correctly.

2. Change the wireless channel on the High Power Router to 11 or 1 and try again. There may be
interference in your installation environment.
I am not getting a strong wireless connection from all distances from the wireless router.
1. Check to see that your antennas are secured tightly to the High Power Router.
2. Check if other computers are experiencing the same issue. If not, the wireless adapter in your
computer may be experiencing problems or maybe older and have poor wireless performance.
3. Avoid placing the High Power Router near or around Microwaves and 2.4GHz wireless phones.
4. Avoid using wireless channels that are crowded. Change the wireless channel on the High
Power Router.
5. Place the High Power Router in a higher location near the center of your desired coverage
location.
6. Position the antennas on the High Power Router in opposite orientations.
My wireless adapter does not connect at the maximum wireless speed.
1. Your wireless network adapter may be outdated and have older wireless technology not
capable of achieving the wireless network speeds of the High Power Router. To achieve
maximum wireless speeds, it is required that you have a 802.11n wireless adapter.
2. Check that you are using the latest Wi-Fi security type: WPA or WPA2 WEP security may slow
down your wireless speeds.
3. Check that the High Power Router’s wireless data rate is set to auto or 11N data rate speeds.
4. Wireless speeds degrade as you get further away from the wireless router.
5. Check that the wireless channel set on the High Power Router is not crowded. Try changing the
wireless channel to another channel and test the speed again.
6. Do not use Internet websites (i.e. speedtest.net or other websites) to test your wireless speeds.
Speed test websites measure your Internet connection speed, which is controlled by your
Internet provider. Wireless speeds are for your local network and not your Internet connection.
To test wireless speeds, a local test or file transfer will be required to test the true wireless
speed.

IS WI-FI HARMFUL?
Short answer: No
We get asked this question every now and then since we deal with high power Wi-Fi so we thought
we would gather some facts and provide them for your review:
WHAT IS WI-FI?
Wi-Fi is a type of radio wave similar to radio waves that operate on different frequencies for
handheld walkie-talkies, cellular phones and even microwaves.
ARE RADIO WAVES HARMFUL?
Radio frequencies are measured between the ranges of 3 kHz to 300 GHz, and do not emit ionizing
waves that cause damage to the human body.

HOW STRONG ARE WI-FI RADIO WAVES?
COMPARED TO CELL PHONES
Wi-Fi radio waves have roughly 5% the output power of a standard cellular phone.
That's 20 times less output power.
This may help put this into perspective. The Health Protection Agency (HPA) states that "someone sitting in a Wi-Fi hotspot for a year
would receive the same dose of radiowaves as someone using a mobile phone for 20 minutes."
COMPARED TO MICROWAVE OVENS
Wi-Fi radio waves have an ouput power that is 0.001% or "100,000 times less than a domestic
microwave oven."
ARE THERE REGULATIONS ON WI-FI USE?
Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the Occupational Health & Safety Agency (OSHA), Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers (IEEE), International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), and U.S. Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) are renowned organizations that have established guidelines for exposure limits for radio frequency radiation.
“…NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO AFFECT THE STRUCTURE OF
ATOMS IT CONTACTS.”
US Environmental Protection Agency. "Wireless Technology." US Environmental Protection
Agency, June 2011.
To conclude, Amped Wireless products follow all regulatory guidelines and are certified by the
FCC. As mentioned above, the use of Wi-Fi and high power Wi-Fi RF radio waves have been
tested and researched by leading universities and publications. Findings from the research have
overwhelmingly confirmed that Wi-Fi use is safe and not harmful to users. It has also stated that
the overall RF output power, whether using high power or standard power Wi-Fi devices, is much
lower than that of cellular towers, cellular phones and other RF based devices.
