Location

This picture illustrate and show how the Ideascube location is important.

• Users in the green zone will get most of the signal strength and throughput.
  • They will be able to connect on idc-xxx-xxx-xxx-2.4Ghz and idc-xxx-xxx-xxx-5Ghz
• Users in the red zone will get a poorer signal especially if any other electronic devices are present in the room. Wall composition can have some bad effect especially in case of reinforced concrete
  • They will be able to connect on idc-xxx-xxx-xxx-2.4Ghz but idc-xxx-xxx-xxx-5Ghz will have a bad signal if exist
• The third room will get none or really poor wifi signal, usually it is not usable even if the hot spot can be "seen" by the device
  • Users will see no signal at all or really poor signal on idc-xxx-xxx-xxx-2.4Ghz. idc-xxx-xxx-xxx-5Ghz will not be visible

Older devices does not have 5Ghz feature so they will connect only through 2.4Ghz hotspot. Recent devices will have the 5Ghz feature, so if the user is close to the wifi hotspot it might be interesting to use it as the throughput is higher.

In free zone, Ideascube coverage on 5 Ghz wifi hot spot will be around 10-15 meters, it should be more on 2.4 Ghz with a coverage of 30 meters

Ideascube must be positioned vertically with it mounting plate provided in the package. The front part (white one) must be pointed in direction of the users

Do not place the device in a metal box. Wifi signal will be significantly degraded

Dot not place the device behind a wall

A Wifi repeater can be use to extend to few more meters (usually 10-30 meters) the Ideascube hotspot signal
