This chapter covers the following topics:

Before You Begin

Basic Requirements

Quick Setup

Before You Begin

Please read this guide carefully before installing and using the device. The operating distance range of your wireless connection can vary significantly depending on the physical position of the wireless devices. Factors that can weaken signals by getting in the way of your network’s radio waves are metal appliances or obstructions, and walls. Typical ranges vary based on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or office.

In order to optimize the performance of RE580D, please follow the instructions below to achieve an ideal location (please make sure it is always within the wireless coverage of the wireless router).

Half-way Between - Generally, the ideal location for RE580D is half-way between the Wireless router and Wireless Client. If the wireless signal is not satisfactory, you may place RE580D somewhat nearer to the Wireless router.

No Obstacles and Spacious - Clear obstacles in the way between RE580D and Wireless router. It’s better to locate it in a spacious place, such as near the corridors.

No Interference - Choose a location away from Bluetooth devices and other household electronics, such as cordless phone, microwave, and baby monitor, etc., to minimize signal interference.
