Optimising the Transmission Quality
The transmission quality and transmission range are influenced by a number of differ-
ent factors in your WLAN. Specific environmental conditions (e.g. concrete walls or
metal wires in the walls, electrical appliances such as microwave oven, number of con-
nection devices) can impair the transmission rate. You need the highest possible and
most stable transmission rate in order to ensure adequate quality for transmitting data
- especially video data. The current transmission quality is displayed on the user inter-
face of your WLAN adapter.
You can use the following settings to optimise the transmission quality:
Position WLAN devices closer together, if possible,
u
Align the antennae optimally,
u
Select a different channel,
u
Set the data rate to a fixed value,
u
Choose a different frequency range.
u
You can operate the Gigaset SE365 WLAN in the 5 GHz or 2.4 GHz frequency range. The
range is better in the 2.4 GHz frequency range. The 5 GHz frequency range, on the other
hand, is less sensitive to disruptions.
