Notes on Wireless LAN Configuration
When configuring a wireless LAN (WLAN), be sure to note the following points:
Optimize the performance of the WLAN by ensuring that the distance between
access points is not too far. In most buildings, WLAN Adapters operate within a
range of 100 ~ 300 feet, depending on the thickness and structure of the walls.
Radio waves can pass through walls and glass but not metal. If there is interference
in transmitting through a wall, it may be that the wall has reinforcing metal in its
structure. Install another access point to circumvent this problem.
Floors usually have metal girders and metal reinforcing struts that interfere with
WLAN transmission.
