InstantWave Product Placement Guidelines
A few tips to mention that are particularly significant in a radio wave
communications system:
1. Radio waves reflect or refract from buildings, walls, metal furniture, or other
objects. This could result in performance degradation due to the fluctuation
of the received signal.
2. Microwave ovens use the 2.45 GHz frequency band. InstantWave also
functions in the 2.4 ~ 2.5 GHz band, and therefore shares some of the band
with microwave ovens. This means that when a nearby microwave oven is in
use, it may interfere with InstantWave signals, resulting in performance
degradation on the wireless network.
For the best performance, follow the guidelines below in placing the product:
Place as high as possible, in as open an area as possible
Avoid placing the WWB or WEC (especially the antenna) close to metal
objects (e.g. file cabinets, metal cubicles, etc.)
Keep APs and stations as far away as possible from microwave ovens (10
meters min. is advisable)
Mounting the WWB
The WEB may be either freestanding or wall-mounted. Screws and a template
are provided for easy installation. The installation procedures to fix the WWB to
a wall are as below:
step1. Temporarily stick the template sheet on the wall
step2. Drill holes at the places marked “+”
