1.6 Installation Considerations
l
Beware of the walls and ceilings. Each wall or ceiling can reduce your wireless cover range
form 3-90 feet. Properly position your Access Points, Residential Gateways, and computers
so that the number of walls or ceilings residing between Access Points and clients is
minimized.
Building materials make a difference – A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a
l
negative effect on signal coverage range. Try to properly position Access Points and
computers with wireless adapters so that there would be less obstacles existing between
them.
l
Keep your wireless LAN devices away from microwaves, cordless phones and child
incubators. It is likely that the latter will cause interferences to the operation of your wireless
LAN devices.
