1.2 Network range & speed information
• The environment : Radio signals can travel further outside of
buildings, and if the wireless components are in direct line of sight to
one another. Putting wireless components in high places helps
avoiding physical obstacles and provides better coverage.
• Building construction such as metal framing and concrete or masonry
walls and floors will reduce radio signal strength. Avoid putting
wireless components next to large solid objects; or next to large
metal object such as computers, monitors, and appliances.
• Wireless signal range, speed, and strength can be affected by
interference from neighbouring wireless networks and devices.
Electro-magnetic devices such as televisions, radios, microwave
ovens, and cordless phones, especially those with frequencies in the
2.4GHz range, may also interfere with wireless transmission.
• Standing or sitting too close to wireless equipment can also affect
radio signal quality.
• Adjusting the antenna : Do not place antennas next to large pieces of
metal, because this might cause interference.
