Interference from physical objects

Radio Frequency (RF) interference
To minimize interference from physical objects:
Move the CGNV2 away from walls, heavy furniture, other massive or metallic
objects like refrigerators, and so forth.
Install the CGNV2 in a higher location.
To minimize RF interference:
Move the CGNV2 away from sources of RF energy such as wireless telephone
base stations, microwaves, and so forth.
Conduct a wireless site audit to see if other wireless networks are interfering with
yours. If so, you can change the wireless channel to one that isn’t so congested.
To conduct a site audit on the CGNV2, go to the
Wireless
>
WiFi Site Survey
screen. Click
Scan
. The screen that displays shows the wireless networks in the
area, the
Ch
field shows the channel they are using, and the
Signal (%)
field
shows how strongly the CGNV2 is receiving their signal (bear in mind that the
strength of a network at the CGNV2’s location is not necessarily the same as at
your wireless client’s location; it may be much stronger there).
If there are a lot of networks or a very strong network using a single channel or a
group of channels, you can change the CGNV2’s channel to one further away
from the congested channel. To do this on the CGNV2, go to the
Wireless
>
Basic
screen and choose an option from the
Channel
list. You should choose a
channel as far away from the congested area as possible; ideally a difference of
five channels is desirable.
Depending on their configuration, you may also then need to change the channel
on your wireless client devices.

NOTE:
If you are just setting up your wireless network in a standard configuration
(covered in Wireless Tutorials on page 75) you do not need to read this
section.
