1.4 Wireless Performance

The following information will help you utilizing the wireless performance, and operating coverage of WAP-8000.

1. Site selection

To avoid interferences, please locate W AP-8000 and wireless client s away from transformers, microwave ovens, heavy-duty motors, refrigerators, fluorescent lights, and other industrial equipments. Keep the number of walls, or ceilings between AP and client s as few as possible; otherwise the signal strength may be seriously reduced. Place WAP-8000 in open space or add additional WAP-8000 as needed to improve the coverage.

2. Environmental factors

The wireless network is easily affected by many environmental factors. Every environment is unique with different obstacles, construction materials, weather, etc. It is hard to determine the exact operating range of WAP-8000 in a specific location without testing.
