Section 2 - Installation
The D-Link DAP-3690 lets you access your network, using a wireless connection, from virtually anywhere within its operating range. Keep in mind,

Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the DAP-3690 and other network devices to a minimum - each wall or ceiling can reduce
yourDAP-3690’srangeby3-90feet(1-30meters).Positionyourdevicessothatthenumberofwallsorceilingsisminimized.
Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick (0.5 meters), at a 45-degree angle appears to be almost 3
feet (1 meter) thick. At a 2-degree angle, the wall appears to be over 42 feet (14 meters) thick! Position your devices so that the signal will
travel straight through a wall or ceiling - instead of at an angle - for better reception.
Building materials can impede the wireless signal - a solid metal door or aluminum studs can have a negative eect on range. Try to position
wireless devices and computers with wireless adapters so that the signal passes through drywall or open doorways, and not through other
materials.
Keep your product away - at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters - from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise.
