Finding a suitable location
Wireless signals are affected by many items in households. Reliability and
performance are the major considerations when planning your wireless network
location.
Avoiding interference
Wireless signals are subject to interference from other electronic devices including
(but not limited to) microwave ovens, cordless telephones, and garage door openers.
Proper installation will minimize interference. Place your i38HG at least five feet from
cordless phones, microwaves, or other electronic devices to avoid potential
interference, and more than six inches away from a television to avoid audio hissing or
static.
Note:
Whenever possible, use the stand provided with the i38HG and install it in the
vertical position. If that is not possible, be sure that it is installed in a place where
nothing can be stacked on the top of it. The i38HG generates substantial amounts of
heat and could possibly damage items stacked on it.
