Reducing interference in a wireless network

The following tips will help reduce the chances for interference in a wireless network:

• Keep the wireless devices away from large metal objects, such as filing

cabinets, and other electromagnetic devices, such as microwaves and cordless

telephones, as these objects can disrupt radio signals.

• Keep the wireless devices away from large masonry structures and other

building structures as these objects can absorb radio waves and lower signal

strength.

• For an infrastructure network, position the WAP in a central location in line of

sight with the wireless devices on the network.

• Keep all wireless devices on the network within range of one another.
