3-2
Basic Installation and Configuration
202-10060-02, February 2005
For best results, place your wireless access point:
•
Near the center of the area in which your PCs will operate.
•
In an elevated location such as a high shelf where the wirelessly connected PCs have
line-of-sight access (even if through walls).
•
Away from sources of interference, such as PCs, microwaves, and 2.4 GHz cordless phones.
•
Away from large metal surfaces.
•
If using multiple access points, it is better if adjacent access points use different
radio frequency
Channels to reduce interference. The recommended Channel spacing between adjacent access
points is 5 Channels (for example, use Channels 1 and 6, or 6 and 11).
The time it takes to establish a wireless connection can vary depending on both your security
settings and placement.
