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

between

access points is not too far. In most buildings, WLAN

Adapters

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

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.
