Setting Up
Wireless LANs When setting up a wireless LAN, take note of the following points:
❑
Start by determining the areas to be networked, the number of users and the type of
devices to be used. Then determine if you require AP routers and where they should be
placed.
❑ If two AP routers are placed close to each other, you can optimize your bandwidth by
setting them to different channels.
❑ Radio waves can pass through walls and glass but not metal. If the signal on the other
side of a wall is weak, it may be that the wall has reinforcing metal in its structure. Install
another AP router to circumvent this problem or move your AP router to another location.
❑ Floors usually have metal girders and metal reinforcing struts that impede radio waves.
