Improve Wireless Performance - HP MediaSmart Connect x280n Guide D'installation Et Manuel De L'utilisateur

Improve wireless performance

Walls dramatically reduce the range of a wireless router. It is
recommended that your router be placed in a room in the middle
of your house. For the purpose of video transmission, avoid
wireless connections that go through more than two walls or two
floors. An 802.11n router performs better in these environments,
because it uses advanced signal processing and multiple
antennas.
Turn off all unused network equipment in your local home network.
Some devices generate network traffic even when they are idle.
Most wireless routers offer multiple communication channels. Refer
to your router user manual for more information. In apartment
buildings and dense neighborhoods, if reception is poor, you may
need to switch your router wireless channel to improve reception.
The 5 GHz 802.11n* and 802.11a routers offer more channels,
and so are less subject to Wi-Fi interference. In some instances,
rotating your router antennas or placing the router at least
18 inches (457 mm) above the floor may improve your reception.
Chapter 2: Connecting your HP MediaSmart Connect to your Home Network
* Your 802.11n router may have a single transmitter at 2.4 GHz or a
dual transmitter at both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. If it is available, select
the 5 GHz mode for better coverage and performance.
Dual band 802.11n routers (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands) offer
the best performance option. These routers support 802.11b,
802.11g, 802.11a, and 802.11n simultaneously. Desktop
computers, notebooks, and handheld devices can use the
802.11b and 802.11g conductivity while the HP MediaSmart
Connect can use the performance of the 802.11n system at the
same time.
