1.6 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.
