RF interference
RF interference from home, office, and medical equipment is
a common source of frustration in wireless deployments from
the smallest home office to the largest multi-building campus.
The following table lists several common sources of RF
interference:
NOTE: Most newer model microwave ovens have sufficient
shielding to negate possible RF interference.
Placing access points
Physical placement of an access point has a measurable effect
on who can and cannot access your wireless signal. The
following sections provide an overview of wireless access
point placement, signal strength, and signal direction in
common wireless deployment situations:

Making hardware
decisions
The first decision in hardware is the access point. While
access point technology (802.11a/b/g/n) is one factor in
determining your placement, based on distance served and
