1.6 Observing Location and Range Guidelines
Computers can connect over wireless networks indoors at a range which vary
significantly based on the physical location of the computer with the Wireless Pocket
USB. For best results, avoid potential sources of interference, such as:
• Large metal surfaces
• Microwaves ovens
• 2.4GHz Cordless phones
In general, wireless devices can communicate through walls. However, if the walls
are constructed with concrete, or have metal, or metal mesh, the effective range will
decrease between the devices.
