Reference Manual for the NETGEAR ProSafe 802.11g Wireless Access Point WG102

3-2 Basic Installation and Configuration

November 2005

For best 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).

The time it takes to establish a wireless connection can vary depending on both your security

settings and placement.

Cabling Requirements

The WG102 Access Point connects to your LAN via twisted-pair Category 5 Ethernet cable with

RJ-45 connectors.

Note: Failure to follow these guidelines can result in significant performance

degradation or inability to wirelessly connect to the WG102. For complete performance

specifications, see Appendix A, “Specifications”.
