Basic Installation and Configuration 2-3
v2.0, April 2013
If you are using multiple access points for 11b/bg/ng, it is better if adjacent access points use
different radio frequency
channels to reduce interference. The recommended Channel spacing
between adjacent access points is 5 Channels (for example, use Channels 1 and 6, or 6 and 11). For
11a/na, the 6 Channel spacing is not needed.
The time it takes to establish a wireless connection can vary depending on both your security
settings and placement. Some types of security connections can take slightly longer to establish
and can consume more battery power on a notebook computer.
Understanding WNDAP350 Wireless Security Options
Your wireless data transmissions can be received well beyond your walls by anyone with a
compatible adapter. For this reason, use the security features of your wireless equipment. The
WNDAP350 wirelss access point provides highly effective security features which are covered in
detail in this chapter. Deploy the security features appropriate to your needs.

There are several ways you can enhance the security of your wireless network:
• Restrict Access Based on MAC address. You can restrict access to only trusted PCs so that
unknown PCs cannot wirelessly connect to the WNDAP350. MAC address filtering adds an
obstacle against unwanted access to your network, but the data broadcast over the wireless link
is fully exposed.
