N150 WiFi Router (N150R)
• Away from electrical devices that are potential sources of interference. Equipment that
might cause interference includes ceiling fans, home security systems, microwaves,
PCs, the base of a cordless phone, or 2.4 GHz cordless phone.
• Away from any large metal surfaces, such as a solid metal door or aluminum studs. Large
expanses of other materials such as glass, insulated walls, fish tanks, mirrors, brick, and
concrete can also affect your wireless signal.
When you use 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).
