WIRELESS PERFORMANCE 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.

Network
WAN SETTING
WAN Connection Type
There are several connection types to choose from: Static IP, DHCP, PPPoE, PPTP, L2TP, and
Russia PPTP. If you are unsure of your connection method, please contact your Internet Service
Provider. Static
Used when your ISP provides you a set IP address that does not change. The IP information is
manually entered in your IP configuration settings. You must enter the IP address, Subnet Mask,
Gateway, Primary DNS Server, and Secondary DNS Server. Your ISP provides you with all of this
information.
DHCP
A method of connection where the ISP assigns your IP address when your router requests one from
the ISP's server.
Host Name: Some ISP's may check your computer's Host Name. The Host Name identifies your
system to the ISP's server.
PPPoE
Select this option if your ISP requires you to use a PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet)
connection. DSL providers typically use this option. This method of connection requires you to enter a
Username and Password (provided by your Internet Service Provider) to gain access to the Internet.
Reconnect Mode: Typically PPPoE connections are not always on. The router allows you to set the
reconnection mode. The settings are:
Always on: A connection to the Internet is always maintained.
On demand: A connection to the Internet is made as needed.
Manual: You have to open up the Web-based management interface and click the Connect button
manually any time that you wish to connect to the Internet.
