Wireless Installation Considerations
The D-Link Wireless* Internet Camera lets you access your network using a wireless connection from anywhere within
the operating range of your wireless network. However, 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. Minimize the number of walls and ceilings between your adapter and other network devices (such as your
Internet Camera) - each wall or ceiling can reduce your adapter’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.)
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 looks over 42 feet
(14 meters) thick! Position your 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 difference. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may weaken the wireless
signal. Try to position your access points, wireless routers, and other networking devices where the
signal passes through drywall or open doorways. Materials and objects such as glass, steel, metal, walls
with insulation, water (fish tanks), mirrors, file 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 2.4GHz cordless phones or other radio frequency sources (such as microwave ovens),
your wireless connection may degrade dramatically or drop completely. Make sure your 2.4GHz phone
base is as far away from your wireless devices as possible.The base transmits a signal even if the phone
in not in use.
