Notes on wireless LAN configuration

When configuring a wireless LAN (WLAN), be sure to note the following points:

x Optimize the performance of the WLAN by ensuring that the distance between access points is not

too far. In most buildings, WLAN cards operate within a range of 100 ~ 300 feet, depending on the

thickness and structure of the walls.

x 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.

x Floors usually have metal girders and metal reinforcing struts that interfere with WLAN transmis-

sion.
