4. Wireless Performance

This section provides the user with ideas for how to improve the performance

of a SpaceLink 802.11b network.

For optimal performance, locate wireless mobile clients and the SpaceLink

802.11g APs away from transformers, heavy-duty motors, fluorescent lights,

microwave ovens, refrigerators, and other industrial equipment. Signal loss

can occur when metal, concrete, walls or floors block transmission. Locate

the SpaceLink 802.11g APs in open areas or add the SpaceLink 802.11g

APs as needed to improve coverage.

Microwave ovens operate in the same frequency band as the SpaceLink

802.11g AP. Therefore, if you use a microwave within range of the

SpaceLink 802.11g AP you may notice network performance degradation.

However, both your microwave and your the SpaceLink 802.11g AP will

continue to function.

A site survey (utility provided with the SpaceLink PC card and CF card)

analyzes the installation environment and provides users with

recommendations for equipment and its placement. The optimum placement

of 11 Mbps Home Gateways differs for 1 or 2 Mbps Home Gateways,

because the locations and number of Home Gateways required are different.
