A4: Wi-Fi uses radio frequency technology to connect hardware and software applications so that
they can communicate. However, RF interference can be a major problem, especially in an
environment such as a trade-show or conference that might entail numerous competing signals.
Other devices contributing to RF clutter include microwave ovens, cordless phones, Bluetooth
devices, wireless video cameras, outdoor microwave links, wireless game controllers, fluorescent
lights, and so on. These sources can cause significant interference and signal degradation. Where
possible, try to eliminate or minimize the potential interference in your installation design.
A5: Consider the following suggestions when many conflicting wireless sources are in the
immediate area:
Set the wireless network SSID to any unique name. Choose a name that is unique to
your network and is not shared by other nearby networks or other networks you are
likely to encounter to avoid connection failures, or unintentionally connecting to other
networks sharing the same SSID.
Make sure that the network is not set to ‘hidden.’ iOS® devices may interpret this as a
closed network and fail to connect.
If using security, make sure that it is set to WPA2 Personal (AES). Use of WEP is not
recommended for compatibility, reliability, performance, and security reasons.
If possible, configure 2.4 GHz Radio mode to 802.11b/g/n.
If the router supports 5 GHz Radio mode, set it to 802.11a/n.
Channel Settings should be set to 1, 6 or 11 (11 is the most common choice, since it is
the starting channel, making 1 or 6 a good choice).
Channel width should be set to 20 MHz or “Narrow Band” in 2.4 GHz mode.
Channel width should be set to both 20 MHz and 40 MHz in 5 GHz mode.
Ensure that only one DHCP server is active on the network.
