Placement Guidelines

Table 3 describes the rear ports and Adapters.

Placement Guidelines

The Ruckus MediaFlex Router will automatically adjust, within limits, to room conditions. You can achieve

better signal reception by following the below placement guidelines:

Establishing a good general location

Your 2825 should be placed:

• Near the center of the room, if possible.

• On a shelf or other elevated location where other wireless networking devices are within line-of-sight

access.

• Away from other sources of electromagnetic interference (for example, microwave ovens, and cordless

phones).

• Away from large metal surfaces, pictures or mirrors, metal bookcases, displays, racks, etc..

• Away from large furniture or other physical obstructions, particularly metallic materials.

Using the Signal Quality LED to Fine-Tune the Placement

Wireless environments are sensitive to the physical arrangement of both electronic devices and furniture in

a room. You can observe the Signal Quality Indicator LED to determine the best location. The Signal Quality

indicator LED is described in Table 2— “LED Indicators and Meanings” on page 13.

Refer to the troubleshooting section on page 19 if video quality deteriorates after an installation.

If “Minimum Acceptable” or “Marginally Acceptable,” air quality is indicated, you can adjust the location

of the 2825 and other devices until a steady green LED indicates “good” signal quality.
