• Obstacles: walls, ceilings, furniture, and so on.
• Building Materials: metal doors, aluminum studs.
• Electrical devices: microwaves, monitors, electric motors, cordless phones, and other WiFi devices.
• To optimize the speed and quality of your WiFi connection, you can:
• Move your WiFi device closer to the AP/router if the signal strength is low.
• Reduce WiFi interference that may be caused by other WiFi networks or surrounding wireless
electronics such as cordless phones.
• Place the AP where there are minimum obstacles (such as walls and ceilings) between the AP and
the WiFi client.
• Reduce the number of WiFi clients connecting to the same AP simultaneously, or add additional APs if
necessary.
• Try closing some programs that use the Internet, especially peer-to-peer applications. If the WiFi client
is sending or receiving a lot of information, it may have too many programs open that use the
Internet.
