Determining the Best Location For the Repeater
WLA-G54C
***IMPORTANT*** Although this procedure will assist you in selecting
the best location for your repeater, some experimentation may be
required to achieve optimal results. Many factors including line of sight
obstructions and radio frequency interference affect signal strength,
quality, and overall speed. Even small changes in the placement of the
repeater can dramatically impact the quality of your connection.
Your WLA-G54C is preconfigured to work with your router so all that
is required is to locate the best location for the WLA-G54C and attach
power.
If the client computer you are using is portable you can use a signal
strength indicator to determine the best location (Procedure A below).
If your computer is not portable, you can experiment with locations
based on some general concepts to find a good spot and check signal
strength (Procedure B below).
■ NOTE: if you intend not to use the preconfigured settings for your
repeater ( i.e. you intend to change the IP address or you intend to use
the device as a stand-alone access point), please refer to the User
Manual on your CD.
