Stepstoimprovewirelessconnectivity



Thereareanumberoffactorsthatcanimpacttherangeofwirelessdevices.Follow

thesetipstohelpimproveyourwirelessconnectivity:

1. Keepthenumberofobstructionstoaminimum.Eachobstructioncanreducethe

rangeofawirelessdevice.Positionthewirelessdevicesinamannerthatwill

minimizetheamountofobstructionsbetweenthem.

a. Forthewidestcoveragearea,installyourrouternearthecenterofyourhome,and

neartheceiling,ifpossible.

b. Avoidplacingtheaccesspointonornearmetalobjects(suchasfilecabinetsand

metalfurniture),reflectivesurfaces(suchasglassormirrors),andmasonrywalls.

c. Anyobstructioncanweakenthewirelesssignal(evennon‐metallicobjects),sothe

fewerobstructionsbetweentherouterandthewirelessdevice,thebetter.

d. Placetheaccesspointinalocationawayfromotherelectronics,motors,and

fluorescentlighting.

e. Manyenvironmentalvariablescanaffecttherouter’sperformance,soifyour

wirelesssignalisweak,placetheaccesspointinseverallocationsandtestthesignal

strengthtodeterminetheidealposition.

2. Buildingmaterialscanhavealargeimpactonyourwirelesssignal.Inanindoor

environment,trytopositionthewirelessdevicessothatthesignalpassesthrough

lessdensematerialsuchasdrywall.Densematerialslikemetal,solidwood,glassor

evenfurnituremayblockordegradethesignal.

3. Antennaorientationcanalsohavealargeimpactonyourwirelesssignal.Usethe

wirelessadapter’ssitesurveytooltodeterminethebestantennaorientationforyour

wirelessdevices.

4. InterferencefromdevicesthatproduceRF(radiofrequency)noisecanalsoimpact

yoursignal.PositionyourwirelessdevicesawayfromanythingthatgeneratesRF

noise,suchasmicrowaves,radiosandbabymonitors.



Ifpossible,upgradewirelessnetworkinterfaces(suchaswirelesscardsincomputers)

fromolderwirelessstandardsto802.11n.Ifawirelesslynetworkeddeviceusesanolder

standard,theperformanceoftheentirewirelessnetworkmaybeslower.Ifyouarestill

experiencinglowornosignal,considerrepositioningthewirelessdevicesorinstalling

additionalaccesspoints.
