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.

they could connect to your network. When this is disabled, you must enter the Wireless
Network Name (SSID) on the client manually to connect to the network.
WMM: Choose to Enable or Disable WMM. This is the Quality of Service (QoS) feature
for prioritizing voice and video applications. This option can be further configured in
WMM under the Wireless drop-down menu.
Encryption: Select WPA pre-shared key from the drop-down list.
WPA Type: Select TKIP, AES, or WPA2 Mixed. The encryption algorithm used to
secure the data communication. TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) provides
per-packet key generation and is based on WEP. AES (Advanced Encryption Standard)
is a very secure block based encryption. Note that, if the bridge uses the AES option,
the bridge can associate with the access point only if the access point is also set to use
only AES.
Pre-shared Key Type: The Key Type can be passphrase or Hex format.
Pre-Shared Key: The key is entered as a pass-phrase of up to 63 alphanumeric
characters in ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) format at
both ends of the wireless connection. It cannot be shorter than eight characters,
although for proper security it needs to be of ample length and should not be a
commonly known phrase. This phrase is used to generate session keys that are unique
for each wireless client.
