Observe Wireless Location and Range Guidelines
For best performance, place the wireless USB adapter at least 4 feet (over 1 meter) away from the
wireless router or access point.
Computers can connect over wireless networks indoors at a range which vary significantly based
on the physical location of the computer with the RangeMax Next WN111 Wireless USB 2.0
Adapter. For best results, avoid potential sources of interference, such as:
Large metal surfaces
•Microwaves
2.4 GHz Cordless phones
In general, wireless devices can communicate through walls. However, if the walls are constructed
with concrete, or have metal, or metal mesh, the effective range will decrease if such materials are
between the devices.
