Wireless Configuration

This chapter describes how to configure the wireless features of your DG834G 54 Mbps Wireless

ADSL Firewall Router .

Considerations for a Wireless Network

In planning your wireless network, you should consider the level of security required. You should

also select the physical placement of your router in order to maximize the network speed. For

further information, refer to Appendix D, “Wireless Networking Basics”.

To ensure proper compliance and compatibility between similar products in your area, the

operating channel and region must be set correctly.

Observe Performance, Placement, and Range Guidelines

The operating distance or range of your wireless connection can vary significantly based on the

physical placement of the wireless firewall. The latency, data throughput performance, and

notebook power consumption also vary depending on your configuration choices.

For best results, place your firewall:

• Near the center of the area in which your computers will operate

• In an elevated location such as a high shelf where the wirelessly connected computers have

line-of-sight access (even if through walls)

• Away from sources of interference, such as computers, microwaves, and cordless phones

• With the Antenna tight and in the upright position

• Away from large metal surfaces

Note: Failure to follow these guidelines can result in significant performance

degradation or inability to wirelessly connect to the router. For complete range/

performance specifications, please see Appendix A, “Technical Specifications”.
