| What are some possible solutions for improving wireless range? |
back |
|
|
|
To increase the wireless range you can do any one of the following,
depending upon the kind of wireless set up you have.
- Using Access point [E.g. SMC2655W, SMC2870W, SMCWEBT-G etc.]:
The access point can be hardwired to the router and can be taken as close as possible
to the wireless clients. This way the wireless clients that are out of the wireless
router's coverage area can be covered.
- Using repeaters [E.g. SMC2870W, SMCWEBT-G]:
If you want to use the repeater functionality then you will have to go for two 2870W's,
one should be hardwired to the router just like a normal access point and the other one
should be placed at the location where you want the wireless signals to be repeated.
The second 2870W will repeat the signals of the first one. This way the wireless range
can be extended.
- Using antennas:
If you have routers like SMC2804WBR, SMC2804WBRP-G whose antennas are detachable,
you can go for an antenna in SMCHMANT-4 or SMCHMANT-6. The SMCHMANT-4 will increase
the wireless coverage area by 25% and SMCHMANT-6 will increase the coverage area by 50%.
- Also ensure that there are no wireless devices like cordless phones or microwave oven,
which operates at 2.4ghz nearer to the wireless machine.

O Windows Vista™, o novo sistema operativo da Microsoft®, deverá estar disponível para comercialização em larga escala a partir de 30 de Janeiro de 2007. A SMC® Networks está neste momento a desenvolver e a testar controladores para a actual gama de adaptadores de rede com e sem fios, para que os utilizadores os possam continuar a usar na maioria dos casos, na eventualidade de transição para o Vista. Por outro lado, como todos os produtos Broadband/ADSL da SMC não estão dependentes do Sistema Operativo, funcionarão sem problemas no Vista sem a necessidade de actualização, não sendo por isso exigida qualquer alteração.
Controladores actualizados para o Windows Vista estarão disponíveis a partir do final de Janeiro de 2007. A SMC colocará os novos controladores no seu Website assim que estiverem concluídos – adicione por favor esta página Web à sua lista de favoritos para que possa verificar facilmente a disponibilidade de novos controladores para os seus produtos. A SMC está também a incorporar as mais recentes tecnologias do Vista nos novos modelos em desenvolvimento, incluindo os novos equipamentos Wireless Barricade™ N.
Apesar da SMC Networks não poder garantir o desenvolvimento de controladores para todos os produtos já comercializados, estamos a trabalhar para assegurar controladores actualizados para a maioria dos adaptadores de rede com e sem fios. À medida que novos controladores forem sendo lançados serão adicionados ao Website, pelo que deverá verificar com regularidade se o que procura não foi já disponibilizado.
