Wireless Performance Considerations

There are a number of factors that can impact the range of wireless
devices. Adjust your wireless devices so that the signal is traveling in
a straight path, rather than at an angle. The more material the signal
has to pass through the more signal you will lose. Keep the number of
obstructions to a minimum. Each obstruction can reduce the range of
a wireless device. Position the wireless devices in a manner that will
minimize the amount of obstructions between them.
Building materials can have a large impact on your wireless signal. In
an indoor environment, try to position the wireless devices so that
the signal passes through less dense material such as dry wall. Dense
materials like metal, solid wood, glass or even furniture may block or
degrade the signal.
Antenna orientation can also have a large impact on your wireless
signal. Use the wireless adapter's site survey tool to determine the best
antenna orientation for your wireless devices.
Interference from devices that produce RF (radio frequency) noise
can also impact your signal. Position your wireless devices away from
anything that generates RF noise, such as microwaves, radios and baby
monitors.
Any device operating on the 2.4GHz frequency will cause interference.
Devices such as 2.4GHz cordless phones or other wireless remotes
operating on the 2.4GHz frequency can potentially drop the wireless
signal. Although the phone may not be in use, the base can still
transmit wireless signal. Move the phone's base station as far away as
possible from your wireless devices.
Adjust the wireless power setting on your AP if you have more than one AP
covering a large area. Covering only the neighbor hop APs in wireless range
is a good design. Covering more than neighbor APs will experience wireless
interference and slow down the communication.
