2. Installation
Follow these steps to install the GN-AP101B Wireless Access Point.
1. Choose a proper place for GN-AP101B Wireless Access Point. In general,
the best location is at the center of your wireless coverage area, within line
of sight to all wireless devices. Keeping clear of metal obstructions and
away from direct sunlight.
2. Place the GN-AP101B in the desired location. Normally, the higher you
place the antenna, the better the performance will be. The antenna’s
position enhances the receiving sensitivity.
3. Attach one end of an RJ-45 Ethernet cable to the GN-AP101B and attach
the other end to a network hub, switch, router, or patch panel (possibly on a
wall).
4. Attach one end of the AC power adapter to the GN-AP101B and the other
end to a power outlet. (Note: Only use the power adapter supplied by
Gigabyte in the product package. Using a different adapter may result in
product damage.)
For the average home, signal range should not be an issue. If you experience
low or no signal strength in areas of your home that you wish to access,
consider positioning the Access Point in a location directly between the
computers with wireless adapters. Additional Access Points can be connected
to provide better coverage in rooms where the signal does not appear as
strong as desired.
