Wireless Installation Considerations
Installing Considerations
The D-Link DPR-1040 lets you print through your network, using a wireless
connection, from virtually anywhere within its operating range. Keep in mind,
however, that the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects
that the wireless signals must pass through, may limit the range. Typical ranges vary
depending on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in
your home or business. The key to maximize wireless range is to follow these basic
guidelines:
1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the DPR-1040 and other network
devices to a minimum. Each wall or ceiling can reduce your D-Link wireless products
range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters). Position your devices so that the number of
walls or ceilings is minimized.
2. Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick
(0.5 meters), at a 45-degree angle appears to be almost 3 feet (1meter) thick. At a
2-degree angle it looks over 42 feet (14 meters). Position devices so that the signal
will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better
reception.
3. Building materials can impede the wireless signal. A solid metal door or aluminum
studs may have a negative effect on range. Try to position wireless devices and
computers with wireless adapters so that the signal passes through drywall or open
doorways and not other materials.
