Considerations for Using Wireless Connections
  •
Mobility - if the majority of your network is laptop computers, wireless is more portable than 
wired connections.
  •
Convenience - wireless networks do not require cabling of individual computers or 
 
opening computer cases to install network cards.
  •
Speed - if network speed is important to you, you may want to consider using Ethernet 
connections rather than wireless connections. 
  •
Range and Coverage - if your network environment contains numerous physical barriers 
or interference factors, wireless networking may not be suitable for your network.
  •
Security - wireless networks have inherent security issues due to the unrestricted nature 
of the wireless transmissions. However, the wireless security appliance is a firewall and has 
NAT capabilities which provides security, and you can use WiFiSec to secure data 
 
transmissions.
Recommendations for Optimal Wireless Performance
  •
Place the wireless security appliance near the center of your intended network. This can 
also reduce the possibility of eavesdropping by neighboring wireless networks. 
  •
Minimize the number of walls or ceilings between the wireless security appliance and the 
receiving points such as PCs or laptops.
