3G36W-V User Manual
2 BasicSetup
2.1 Placementofyour3G36W-V
Justlikeyourmobilephone,the3G36W-V’slocationwillaffectitssignalstrengthtothe3GBaseStation(CellTower).Thedataspeed
achievablefromthe3G36W-Visrelativetothissignalstrength,whichisaffectedbymanyenvironmentalfactors.Pleasekeepinmind
thatthe3G36W-VwillneedadequatesignalstrengthinordertoprovideInternetconnectivitywhilstchoosingalocationtoplaceyour
3G36W-V.
Similarly,thewirelessconnectionbetweenyour3G36W-VandyourWiFideviceswillbestrongerthecloseryourconnecteddevices
aretoyour3G36W-V.Yourwirelessconnectionandperformancewilldegradeasthedistancebetweenyour3G36W-Vandconnected
devicesincreases.Thismayormaynotbedirectlynoticeable,andisgreatlyaffectedbytheindividualinstallationenvironment.
Ifyouhaveconcernsaboutyournetwork’sperformancethatmightberelatedtorangeorobstructionfactors,trymovingthecomputer
toapositionbetweenthreetovemetersfromthe3G36W-Vinordertoseeifdistanceistheproblem.
Note:Whilesomeoftheitemslistedbelowcanaffectnetworkperformance,theywillnotprohibityourwirelessnetworkfromfunctioning;ifyouareconcernedthatyournetwork
isnotoperatingatitsmaximumeffectiveness,thischecklistmayhelp.
Pleaseensurethatyour3G36W-V’s3Gexternalantennaispositionedvertically(towardtheceiling).
IfyouexperiencedifcultiesconnectingwirelesslybetweenyourWiFiDevicesandyour3G36W-V,pleasetrythefollowingsteps:
• Inmulti-storeyhomes,placethe3G36W-Vonaoorthatisasclosetothecentreofthehomeaspossible.Thismaymean
placingthe3G36W-Vonanupperoor.
• Trynottoplacethe3G36W-Vnearacordlesstelephonethatoperatesatthesameradiofrequencyasthe3G36W-V(2.4GHz).
2.2 Avoidobstaclesandinterference
Avoidplacingyour3G36W-Vneardevicesthatmayemitradio“noise,”suchasmicrowaveovens.Denseobjectsthatcaninhibitwireless
communicationinclude:
• Refrigerators
• Washersand/ordryers
• Metalcabinets
• Largeaquariums
• Metallic-based,UV-tintedwindows
Ifyourwirelesssignalseemsweakinsomespots,makesurethatobjectssuchasthoselistedabovearenotblockingthesignal’spath
(betweenyourdevicesandthe3G36W-V).
2.3 CordlessPhones
Iftheperformanceofyourwirelessnetworkisimpairedafterconsideringtheaboveissues,andyouhaveacordlessphone:
• Trymovingcordlessphonesawayfromyour3G36W-Vandyourwireless-enabledcomputers.
• Unplugandremovethebatteryfromanycordlessphonethatoperatesonthe2.4GHzband(checkmanufacturer’sinformation).
Ifthisxestheproblem,yourphonemaybeinterferingwiththe3G36W-V.
• Ifyourphonesupportschannelselection,changethechannelonthephonetothefarthestchannelfromyourwireless
network.Forexample,changethephonetochannel1andmoveyour3G36W-Vtochannel11.Seeyourphone’susermanual
fordetailedinstructions.
• Ifnecessary,considerswitchingtoa900MHzor5GHzcordlessphone.

2.4 Choosethe“Quietest”ChannelforyourWirelessNetwork
Inlocationswherehomesorofcesareclosetogether,suchasapartmentbuildingsorofcecomplexes,theremaybewirelessnetworks
nearbythatcanconictwithyourwirelessnetwork.
UsetheSiteSurveycapabilitiesfoundintheWirelessUtilityofyourwirelessadaptertolocateanyotherwirelessnetworksthatare
available(seeyourwirelessadapter’susermanual),andswitchyourRouterandcomputerstoachannelasfarawayfromothernetworks
aspossible.
Experimentwithmorethanoneoftheavailablechannels,inordertondtheclearestconnectionandavoidinterferencefromneighboring
cordlessphonesorotherwirelessdevices.
2.5 ConnectingandConguringyour3G36W-V
The3G36W-Vhasbeendesignedtobeplacedonadesktop.Allofthecablesexitfromtherearforbetterorganization.Thedisplayis
