TEW-511BRP F.A.Q.
Q: Why am I getting low signal strength?
A:There are a number of factors that can impact the range of wireless devices.
1) 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.
2) 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 drywall or open doorways
or space.
3) Antenna position can also have a large impact on your wireless signal. Use the adapter’s site
survey tool to determine the best antenna position for your wireless devices.
4) Interference from devices that produce RF noise can also impact your signal. Position your
wireless devices away from Microwaves, UPS’s, monitors, HAM radios, etc. Also, anything
operating on the 2.4ghz frequency will cause interference. Such as 2.4ghz cordless phones or
other wireless remotes operating on the 2.4ghz frequency.
