Wireless Installation Considerations
DG-HR1020S can be accessed using a wireless connection from anywhere within the
operating range of its wireless network. Keep in mind that the quantity, thickness,
and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass
through may adversely affect wireless signals. Ranges vary depending on the types of
materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or office. The
key to maximizing the wireless range is to follow these basic guidelines:
1. Minimize the number of walls and ceilings between the router and other network
devices. Each wall or ceiling can reduce your adapter’s range from1 to 90 feet (1 to
30 meters).
2. Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick
(0.5 meters) appears to be almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick at a 45-degree angle. At a
2-degree angle it appears over 42 feet (14 meters) thick. Position devices so that the
signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better
reception.
3. Try to position access points, wireless routers and computers so that the signal
passes through open doorways and drywall. Materials such as glass, metal, brick,
insulation, concrete and water can affect wireless performance. Large objects such as
fish tanks, mirrors, file cabinets, metal doors and aluminum studs may also have a
negative effect on range.
4. If you are using a 2.4 GHz cordless phone, make sure that the 2.4 GHz phone base
is as far away from your wireless device as possible. The base transmits a signal even
if the phone is not in use. In some cases, cordless phones, X-10 wireless devices and
electronic equipments such as ceiling fans, fluorescent lights and home security
systems may dramatically degrade wireless connectivity.
Configuration
This section will show you how to configure your new modem broadband router
using the web-based user interface.
When configuring the router for the first time, you will need to establish a direct
connection with the router in order to access the web-based user interface. This can
be done by connecting wirelessly to DG-HR1020S. Once you have configured your
router, you will be able to connect using the Wi-Fi settings that you have specified in
the configuration process.

came with your operating system or wireless client for further information on
how to connect to a wireless network.

Once you have located this network with your wireless utility, connect to the network
using your wireless networking utility.
You will then be prompted to enter the network security key for your router. The
unique security key for your router will be displayed on the router. Enter the security
key in the box provided and click OK. Your wireless connection utility should
confirm that the connection is successful, and you can move to the next step to
