2. Environmental factors

The wireless network is easily affected by many environmental factors. Every

environment is unique with different obstacles, construction materials, weather, etc. It is

hard to determine the exact operating range of MAP-3100 in a specific location without

testing.

3. Antenna adjustment

The bundled antenna of MAP-3100 is adjustable. Firstly install the antenna pointing

straight up, then smoothly adjust it if the radio signal strength is poor. But the signal

reception is definitely weak in some certain areas, such as location right down the

antenna.

Moreover, the original antenna of MAP-3100 can be replaced with other external

antennas to extend the coverage. Please check the specification of the antenna you want

to use, and make sure it can be used on MAP-3100.
