The multi-directional, moveable, and dual-band antenna maximizes the
WiFi-TV wireless coverage.
To install the antenna:
1. Locate the wireless LAN
antenna port on the card
bracket.
2. Connect the antenna twist-on
connector (female) to the
wireless LAN antenna port
(male).
3. Place the antenna at an
elevated location to enhance
your wireless coverage.
• Do not place the antenna under your table or in a closed
compartment.
• The speed of wireless transmission decreases as you move farther
from the access point. To achieve faster data transmission, minimize
the distance between the WiFi-TV and the access point
(Infrastructure mode) or the other wireless device.

Operating rangeOperating range
Operating range
Operating rangeOperating range
The WiFi-TV range is dependent on the operating environment. Every home
or office layout varies in obstacles, barriers, or wall types that could reflect
or absorb radio signals. For example, two wireless devices in an open space
can achieve an operating distance of up to 200 ft, while the same devices
can only achieve up to 80 ft when used indoors.
By default, the device automatically adjusts the data rate to maintain an
operational wireless transmission. Therefore, a wireless device that is close
to the access point may operate at higher speeds while a wireless device
far from the access point may operate at lower speeds.
