For a complete list of the factory default settings of your NETGEAR ProSafe DGFV338, see
Appendix A, “Default Settings and Technical Specifications
”
Placement of your NETGEAR ProSafe DGFV338
The operating distance or range of your wireless connection can vary significantly based on the
physical placement of NETGEAR ProSafe DGFV338. The latency, data throughput performance,
and notebook power consumption also vary depending on your configuration choices. For best
results, place your wireless ADSL firewall:
•
Near the center of the area in which your PCs will operate.
•
In an elevated location, such as a high shelf where the wireless-connected PCs have line-of-
sight access (even if through walls). The best location is elevated, such as wall mounted or on
the top of a cubicle, and at the center of your wireless coverage area for all the mobile devices.
•
Away from potential sources of interference, such as PCs, microwaves and cordless phones.
•
With the antenna tight and in an upright position.
•
Away from large metal surfaces.
Figure 1-5
Note:
Failure to follow these guidelines can result in significant performance degradation
or inability to wirelessly connect to the wireless ADSL firewall.
