Chapter 2. Basic Installation and Securities
This chapter explains how to place and connect the AG-3621 Access Point. In addition, the
AG-3621’s security features are elaborated.
Note
You need to prepare these three things before you can establish a connection
through your wireless access point.
• A location for the AG-3621 that conforms to the Observing Placement and Range Guidelines
below.
• The wireless access point connected to your LAN through a device such as a hub, switch,
router, or Cable/DSL gateway.
• One or more computers with properly configured 802.11a/b/g.
Operating Distance Tips:
The range of your wireless connection is significantly determined by the physical placement
of the access point.
To optimize the results, place your wireless access point:
• Near the center of the area in which your PCs will operate.
• In an elevated location such as a high shelf where the wirelessly connected PCs have
line-of-sight access (even if through walls).
• Away from sources of interference, such as PCs, microwaves, and 2.4 GHz cordless phones.
• Away from large metal surfaces.
• Putting the antenna in a vertical position provides best side-to-side coverage. Putting the
antenna in a horizontal position provides best up-and-down coverage.
• If using multiple access points, it is better if adjacent access points use different radio
frequency Channels to reduce interference. The recommended Channel spacing between
adjacent access points is 5 Channels (for example, use Channels 1 and 6, or 6 and 11).
