2-2 Wireless Settings and Security
v1.0, May 2007
• Reduce interference.
Avoid windows unless you want to communicate between buildings.
Place wireless devices away from electromagnetic noise sources, especially those in the 2400–
2500 MHz frequency band. Common noise-creating sources are:
– Computers and fax machines (no closer than 1 foot)
– Copying machines, elevators, and cell phones (no closer than 6 feet)
– Microwave ovens (no closer than 10 feet)
• Choose your settings.
– Use a scanning utility to determine which other wireless networks are operating nearby,
and choose an unused channel.
– Turn off SSID Broadcast, and change the default SSID. Other nearby devices may
automatically try to connect to your network several times a second, which can cause
significant performance reduction.
Setting Up Your Wireless Connections
When you are setting up wireless connections, these guidelines will help make the process simpler
and easier:
• Use an Ethernet cable to connect your computer to the router when you are setting up or
changing wireless settings. If you are connected wirelessly and make a change, you will lose
your wireless connection when you apply the change.
• Remember to note what your wireless settings are. For help keeping track of them, see
“Information to Gather Before Changing the Wireless Settings” on page 2-3 .
• Wait until after your wireless connection is up and running before you enable wireless security
(
“Understanding Wireless Security” on page 2-6 ).
Note: Before you can set up your wireless connections, you must install the router and
connect to the Internet. See Chapter 1, “Connecting the Router to the Internet” .
