Note: For optimal results in extending wireless range with antenna installations,
consult a qualified professional installer service for a site survey and proper
installation. For a list of devices approved by the FCC for use with the antenna, see
the NETGEAR website at http://tools.netgear.com/legal/fcc_antennas.html.

To maximize coverage and performance, place the antenna within the line of sight
of your wireless devices. Minimize partitions and objects that block the line of
sight if possible. The antenna can be placed on a flat surface, wall mounted, or
magnet mounted.

• If wall-mounting, place the antenna on an interior wall above cubicles
(cubicles generally include a metal foil). Ideal placement is 2 meters (6.5 feet)
high.

• If the wireless access point, router, or gateway, is in an IT room, place the
antenna outside the room against a a wall and close to the ceiling.

The area close to, behind, or beside the antenna will be covered, because the
dynamic range of the WLAN transmitter/receiver and antenna is
approximately 100 dB. Even with 20 dB to 40 dB or attenuation, the signal
strength is still strong and communication is maintained.

• The antenna has magnets in the base,
which can be used to mount it on metal
cabinets, white boards, or even the
ceiling cross bars (the framework that
holds the ceiling panels up).

Turn off your wireless access point, and connect your ANT32405 antenna. If your
wireless access point is new , follow the a ccess point installation instructions. If you
are upgrading an existing access point, turn it on again.
