

WIRELESSPERFORMANCECONSIDERATIONS

Thereareanumberoffactorsthatcanimpacttherangeofwirelessdevices.



1. Adjustyourwirelessdevicessothatthesignalistravelinginastraightpath,

ratherthanatanangle.Themorematerialthesignalhastopassthroughthe

moresignalyouwilllose.



2. Keepthenumberofobstructionstoaminimum.Eachobstructioncanreduce

therangeofawirelessdevice.Positionthewirelessdevicesinamannerthat

willminimizetheamountofobstructionsbetweenthem.



3. Buildingmaterialscanhavealargeimpactonyourwirelesssignal.Inanindoor

environment,trytopositionthewirelessdevicessothatthesignalpasses

throughlessdensematerialsuchasdrywall.Densematerialslikemetal,solid

wood,glassorevenfurnituremayblockordegradethesignal.



4. Antennaorientationcanalsohavealargeimpactonyourwirelesssignal.Use

thewirelessadapter’ssitesurveytooltodeterminethebestantenna

orientationforyourwirelessdevices.



5. InterferencefromdevicesthatproduceRF(radiofrequency)noisecanalso

impactyoursignal.Positionyourwirelessdevicesawayfromanythingthat

generatesRFnoise,suchasmicrowaves,radiosandbabymonitors.



6. Anydeviceoperatingonthe2.4GHzfrequencywillcauseinterference.Devices

suchas2.4GHzcordlessphonesorotherwirelessremotesoperatingonthe

2.4GHzfrequencycanpotentiallydropthewirelesssignal.Althoughthephone

maynotbeinuse,thebasecanstilltransmitwirelesssignal.Movethephone’s

basestationasfarawayaspossiblefromyourwirelessdevices.



Ifyouarestillexperiencinglowornosignalconsiderrepositioningthewireless

devicesorinstallingadditionalaccesspoints.Theuseofhighergainantennasmay

alsoprovidethenecessarycoveragedependingontheenvironment.
