Wireless Installation Considerations
The DSM-G600 lets you access your stored data and media files using a wireless
connection from virtually anywhere within the operating range of your wireless network.
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 maximizing wireless range is to follow these
basic guidelines:
4
Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the DSM-G600 and other network
devices to a minimum - each wall or ceiling can reduce your DSM-G600’s range
from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position your devices so that the number of walls or
ceilings is minimized.
1
Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick
(.5 meters), at a 45-degree angle appears to be almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick. At a
2-degree angle it looks over 42 feet (14 meters) thick! Position devices so that the
signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better
reception.

3
Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or
appliances that generate RF noise.
Building Materials make a difference. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may
have a negative effect on range. Try to position access points, wireless routers, and
computers so that the signal passes through drywall or open doorways. Materials and
objects such as glass, steel, metal, walls with insulation, water (fish tanks), mirrors,
file cabinets, brick, and concrete will degrade your wireless signal.
If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones or X-10 (wireless products such as ceiling
fans, lights, and home security systems), your wireless connection may degrade
dramatically or drop completely. Make sure your 2.4GHz phone base is as far away
from your wireless devices as possible. The base transmits a signal even if the
phone in not in use.
