The D-Link DWL-2200AP lets you access your network, using a
wireless connection, from virtually anywhere within its operating range.
Keep in mind, however, that the number, thickness and location of
walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass
through, may limit the range. Typical ranges vary depending on the
types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your
home or business. The key to maximizing wireless range is to follow
these basic guidelines:
Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from
electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise.

Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the DWL-2200AP
and other network devices to a minimum - each wall or ceiling can
reduce your DWL-2200AP’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.)
Position your devices so that the number of walls or ceilings is
minimized.

Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5
feet thick (.5 meters), at a 45-degree angle appears to be almost
3 feet (1 meter) thick. At a 2-degree angle it looks over 42 feet (14
meters) thick! Position devices so that the signal will travel straight
through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better reception.

Building materials can impede the wireless signal - a solid metal
door or aluminum studs may have a negative effect on range. Try
to position wireless devices and computers with wireless adapters
so that the signal passes through drywall or open doorways and
not other materials.
