15 FriendlyNET FR3002AL Wireless Router
Appendix A. Tips for Better Wireless
Reception
The signal quality and range of any wireless
Ethernet card is affected greatly by the envi-
ronment in which they are placed. Here are
some tips on getting the most out of your
wireless network when using the Asanté
FR3002AL wireless router:
• The best rule of thumb for good signal
strength and quality is to have line-of-sight from the FR3002AL
router to the wireless computers. This means the user should
be able to see the router from the location where the wireless
client is placed
• Keep the FR3002AL wireless router in an open area away from
any large objects such as cubicles, walls or other obstructions
• Keep the FR3002AL router away from any electro-magnetic
emitting devices such as computers, electrical cables, televi-
sions, and other appliances commonly found in the home or
office
• Keep obstructions from the immediate vicinity of wireless card
antennas
• Elevate the FR3002AL wireless router above desktop clutter
and low to mid-level obstructions, such as furniture
• Rotate the FR3002AL wireless router and computers until the
best signal strength is achieved
• The number of walls windows, doorways and other building
structures will reduce the range of the wireless signal. Place
the FR3002AL router in the path of least resistance through
these structures for the best signal quality to the wireless work-
stations
• The type of walls, windows, doorways or other building struc-
tures will affect the range of the wireless signal. Structures
such as metal framed housed, windows containing UV protec-
tive film, and residences with multiple floors will all affect the
signal quality
• Standing too close to a wireless Ethernet card antenna will
affect its signal strength and quality
