Notes on wireless LAN configuration
When configuring a wireless LAN (WLAN), be sure to note the
following points:
??
Optimize the performance of the WLAN by ensuring that
the distance to Access Points is within the transmission
range. In most buildings, WLAN cards operate within a
range of 100 ~ 300 feet, depending on the thickness and
structure of the walls.
??
Radio waves can pass through walls and glass but not metal.
If there is interference in transmitting through a wall, it may
be that the wall has reinforcing metal in its structure. Install
another access point to circumvent this problem.
??
Floors usually have metal girders and metal reinforcing
struts that interfere with WLAN transmission.
This concludes the first chapter. The next chapter deals with the
hardware installation of the Wireless LAN card.
