D6200 WiFi DSL Modem RouterPosition Your Wireless RouterThe WiFi DSL modem router lets you access your network from anywhere within theoperating range of your wireless network. However, the operating distance or range of yourwireless connection can vary significantly depending on the physical placement of yourrouter. For example, the thickness and number of walls the wireless signal passes throughcan limit the range. For best results, place your router: Near the center of the area where your computers and other devices operate andpreferably within line of sight to your wireless devices. So it is accessible to an AC power outlet and near Ethernet cables for wired computers. In an elevated location such as a high shelf, keeping the number of walls and ceilingsbetween the WiFi DSL modem router and your other devices to a minimum. Away from electrical devices that are potential sources of interference, such as ceilingfans, home security systems, microwaves, computers, or the base of a cordless phone or2.4 GHz cordless phone. Away from any large metal surfaces, such as a solid metal door or aluminum studs. Largeexpanses of other materials such as glass, insulated walls, fish tanks, mirrors, brick, andconcrete can also affect your wireless signal.Note: The D6200 should be put in a vertical position only.Also be aware that when you use multiple access points, it is better if adjacent access pointsuse different radio frequency channels to reduce interference. The recommended channelspacing between adjacent access points is five channels (for example, use Channels 1 and6, or 6 and 11).ADSL MicrofiltersIf this installation is the first time you have cabled a wireless router between an ADSL phoneline and your computer or laptop, you might not be familiar with ADSL microfilters. If you are,you can skip this section and proceed to Cable Your D6200 WiFi DSL Modem Router onpage 20.An ADSL microfilter is a small inline device that filters ADSL interference out of standardphone equipment that shares a line with your ADSL service. Every telephone device thatconnects to a telephone line that provides ADSL service needs an ADSL microfilter to filterout the ADSL interference. Examples of devices are telephones, fax machines, answeringmachines, and caller ID displays. Not every phone line in your home necessarily carriesADSL service. That depends on the ADSL service setup in your home.Hardware Setup18
D6200 WiFi DSL Modem RouterNote: Often the ADSL microfilter is included in the box with the wirelessmodem router. If you purchased the WiFi DSL modem router in acountry where a microfilter is not included, you have to acquire theADSL microfilter separately.One-Line ADSL Microfilter (Not Included)Plug the ADSL microfilter into the wall outlet and plug your phone equipment into the jacklabeled Phone. The wireless modem router plugs directly into a separate ADSL line. Pluggingthe wireless modem router into the phone jack blocks the Internet connection. If you do nothave a separate ADSL line for the router,
