3. What variables may cause my wireless products to lose reception?

positioning of the products within your environment will affect its wireless range. Please refer
to the Installation Considerations in the Wireless Basics section of this manual for further

4. Why does my wireless connection keep dropping?
Antenna Orientation - try different antenna orientations for the DAP-3220. Try to keep the
antenna at least 6 inches away from the wall or other objects.
If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones, X-10 equipment or other home security systems,
ceiling fans, or lights, your wireless connection will degrade dramatically or even drop. Try
changing the channel of your router, access point and wireless adapter to a different channel
to avoid interference.

like microwaves, monitors, electric motors, etc.

clients in order to establish a wireless connection.
Make sure that the SSID on the router and the wireless client are exactly the same. If they
are not, wireless connection cannot be established.
Move the DAP-3220 and the wireless client into the same room and then test the wireless
connection.
Disable all security settings.
Turn off your DAP-3220 and the client. Turn the DAP-3220 back on again, and then turn
on the client.
Make sure that all devices are set to Infrastructure mode.
Check that the LED indicators are indicating normal activity. If not, check that the AC power
and Ethernet cables are firmly connected.
Check that the IP address, subnet mask, gateway and DNS settings are correctly entered
for the network.
If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones, X-10 equipment or other home security systems,
ceiling fans, or lights, your wireless connection will degrade dramatically or drop altogether.
Try changing the channel on your DAP-3220, and on all the devices in your network to avoid
interference.
