How do I aim the Wi-Fire™?

The leading edge of the unit is the directional part of the unit, so you’ll want to point the Wi-Fire™ in the direction that the arrow on top is pointing. To optimize Wi-Fi signal reception, point this edge toward the access point. The arrow on top of the Wi-Fire™ should be pointing toward the location of strongest signal (not necessarily toward the access point) as shown by the Wi-Fire Connection Manager. Sometimes, reflections bouncing off obstructions have higher signal strength in multi-path environments than the most direct path to the access point. Use the Wi-Fire Connection Manager to help determine the optimum location and orientation in order to provide maximum signal strength.
