WirelessInstallationFactors 
Themydlink™ConnectedHomeHubletsyouautomateappliancesusingyourexistingwirelessnetwork.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extenderandothernetworkdevicestoaminimum‐eachwallor
ceilingcanreduceyouradapter’srangebyupto98feet(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.Ata45‐degreeangle,awallthatis0.5metersthick(1.5feet)
appearstobealmost1meter(3feet)thick.Ata2‐degreeangleitcanappearover14meters(45feet)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difference.Asolidmetaldoororaluminumstudsmayhaveanegativeeffect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(fishtanks),mirrors,filecabinets,brick,and
concretecan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degradedramaticallyordropcompletely.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innotinuse.

HardwareInstallation
MountingYourDevice(Optional) 

Step1: 
Placethemountingbracketwhereyouwanttopositionthehub 
anduseapenciltomarktheholes. 






Step2: 
Dependingonthematerialofthewallorceiling,usepropertools
todrilltwoholes25mmdeepwitha6mmdrillbitwhereyou

marked.Afterdrillingtheholes,insertplasticanchorstosupport
thescrews.





Step3: 
Ifdesired,cablescanbeconcealedbehindthemountingbracket. 
Runcablesthroughthelargeholeonthemountingbracket.Be 
suretoleaveenoughcablelengthprotrudingtoallowconnection 
tothehub’sports. 
