or ceiling can reduce the range of wireless LAN devices by
1~30 meters. Position your wireless devices so that the
number of walls or ceilings obstructing the signal path is
minimized.
Consider the direct line between access points and
workstations:
A wall that is 0.5 meters thick, at a 45 degree angle
appears to be almost 1 meter thick. At a 2-degree angle, it
appears over 14 meters thick. Be careful to position
access points and client adapters, so the signal can travel
straight through (90º angle) a wall or ceiling for better
reception.
Building materials make a difference:
Buildings constructed using metal framing or doors can
reduce effective range of the device. If possible, position
wireless devices so that their signals can pass through
drywall or open doorways. Avoid positioning them in the
way that their signal must pass through metallic materials.
Poured concrete walls are reinforced with steel while
cinderblock walls generally have little or no structural steel.
Position the antenna for best reception:
Play around with the antenna position to check if signal
strength improves. Some adapters or access points allow
you to judge the strength of the signal.
Keep your product away (at least 1~2 meters) from
electrical devices:
Keep wireless devices away from electrical devices that
generate RF noise, such as microwave ovens, monitors,
electric motors, etc.
