System Setup
The N300 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN2200M Mobile Edition requires t\
he 
considerations described in the following sections for successful operat\
ion.
•     Position Your Wireless Router 
•     Typical Systems 
on page

Position Your Wireless Router
The wireless modem router lets you access your network from virtually an\
ywhere within the 
operating range of your wireless network. However, the operating distanc\
e or range of your 
wireless connection can vary significantly depending on the physical pla\
cement of your 
router. For example, the thickness and number of walls the wireless sign\
al needs to pass 
through might limit the range. For best results, place your router: 
•     Near the center of the area where your computers and other devices will \
operate, 
preferably within line of sight to your wireless devices.
•      Accessible to an AC power outlet and near Ethernet cables for wired comp\
uters.
•     In an elevated location such as a high shelf, keeping the number of wall\
s and ceilings  between the wireless modem router and your other devices to a minimum.
•      Away from electrical devices that are potential sources of interference,\
 such as ceiling 
fans, home security systems, microwaves, or the base for a cordless phon\
e.
•      Away from any large metal surfaces, such as a solid metal door or alumin\
um studs. Large 
expanses of other materials such as glass, insulated walls, fish tanks, \
mirrors, brick, and 
concrete can also affect your wireless signal.
Note:   Failure to follow these guidelines can result in significant 
performance degradation or an inability to wirelessly connect to the 
Internet.
