BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Before you Begin
This section will guide you through the installation process.
Placement of the F9K1004 is very important to avoid poor
signal reception and performance. Avoid placing the device
in enclosed spaces such as a closet or cabinet..
Considerations for Wireless Installation
The operating distance of all wireless devices cannot be pre-
determined due to a number of unknown obstacles in the
environment that the device is placed. These could be the
number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings or other objects
that the wireless signals must pass through. Here are some key
guidelines to ensure that you have the optimal wireless range.
1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the Belkin
access point and other network devices to a minimum.
Each wall or ceiling can reduce the signal strength; the
degradation depends on the building’s material.
2. Building materials makes a difference. A solid metal door or
aluminum stubs may have a significant negative effect on
range. Position your wireless devices carefully so the signal
can pass through drywall or open doorways. Materials such
as glass, steel, metal, concrete, water (fish tanks), mirrors, file
cabinets and brick will also degrade your wireless signal.
3. Interference can also come from other electrical devices
or appliances that generate RF noise. The most
common types are microwaves or cordless phones.
