1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the D-Link router and other network devices to a minimum - each wall or ceiling can reduce your adapter’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position your devices so that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized.
Section 3 - Installation Hardware Setup 1. The DIR-1960 is designed to give you the fastest, most stable network connection possible. In order to maximize performance, fully extend the antennas into a 105 degree angle to provide optimal wireless coverage. Keep the router in an open area for better wireless coverage.
