•Compact high performance wireless n access point
•Wireless Bridge mode for Ethernet-to-wireless bridging function
•Works as an access point and a wireless adapter
•Compliant with IEEE 802.wireless n, IEEE 802.wireless g and 802.11b standards
•compatible with 802.11b/g/n networks
•Up to a 300Mbps data rate using an 802.wireless n
•Expand a wireless network using AP client mode or Wireless Distribution System (WDS)
•Support for the 802.11e Quality of Service (QoS) standard
•2 removable antennas to support high speed performance and expanded coverage
•Supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) feature allowing you to integrate other WPS devices
into your network quickly

INSTALLATIONCONSIDERATIONS
There are a number of factors that can impact the range of wireless devices.
1. Adjust your wireless devices so that the signal is traveling in a straight path, rather than at an
angle. The more material the signal has to pass through the more signal you will lose.
2. Keep the number of obstructions to a minimum. Each obstruction can reduce the range of a
wireless device. Position the wireless devices in a manner that will minimize the amount of
obstructions between them.
3. Building materials can have a large impact on your wireless signal. In an indoor environment, try to
position the wireless devices so that the signal passes through less dense material such as dry
wall. Dense materials like metal, solid wood, glass or even furniture may block or degrade the
signal.
4. Antenna orientation can also have a large impact on your wireless signal. Use the wireless
adapter’s site survey tool to determine the best antenna orientation for your wireless devices.
5. Interference from devices that produce RF (radio frequency) noise can also impact your signal.
Position your wireless devices away from anything that generates RF noise, such as microwaves,
radios and baby monitors.
6. Any device operating on the 2.4GHz frequency will cause interference. Devices such as 2.4GHz
cordless phones or other wireless remotes operating on the 2.4GHz frequency can potentially drop
the wireless signal. Although the phone may not be in use, the base can still transmit wireless
signal. Move the phone’s base station as far away as possible from your wireless devices.
If you are still experiencing low or no signal consider repositioning the wireless devices or installing
additional access points. The use of higher gain antennas may also provide the necessary coverage
depending on the environment.
