Setting Up
Wireless LANs
When setting up a wireless LAN, take note of the following points:
❑
Start by determining the areas to be networked, the number of users and the type of
devices to be used. Then determine if you require APs and where they should be placed.
❑
If two APs are placed close to each other, you can optimize your bandwidth by setting
them to different channels.
❑
Radio waves can pass through walls and glass but not metal. If the signal on the other
side of a wall is weak, it may be that the wall has reinforcing metal in its structure. Install
another AP to circumvent this problem or move your AP to another location.
❑
Floors usually have metal girders and metal reinforcing struts that weaken radio waves.
