Placement and Range Guidelines

maximize the network performance. The operating distance or range of your wireless connection
can vary significantly based on the location of the wireless router. Select a location to maximize
performance. The latency, data throughput performance, and notebook power consumption of
wireless adapters also vary depending on your configuration choices.
Note: Failure to follow these guidelines can result in significant performance
degradation or inability to wirelessly connect to the wireless router.
