Wireless Configuration

3-1

This chapter describes how to configure the wireless features of your FWAG114 wireless firewall.

In planning your wireless network, you should consider the level of security required. You should 
also select the physical placement of your firewall in order to maximize the network speed. For 
further information on wireless networking, refer to in 

The operating distance or range of your wireless connection can vary significantly based on the 
physical placement of the wireless firewall. The latency, data throughput performance, and 
notebook power consumption also vary depending on your configuration choices.

For best results, place your firewall:

•

Near the center of the area in which your PCs will operate.

•

In an elevated location such as a high shelf where the wirelessly connected PCs have 
line-of-sight access (even if through walls). The best location is elevated, such as wall 
mounted or on the top of a cubicle, and at the center of your wireless coverage area for all the 
mobile devices.

•

Away from sources of interference, such as PCs, microwaves, and 2.4 GHz cordless phones. 
The 802.11a standard operates at a higher frequency and should be less susceptible to 
interference from cordless phones. This higher 802.11a frequency may not offer as much 
range as the lower frequency 802.11b/g in a indoor environment with lots of obstructions.

Note: Failure to follow these guidelines can result in significant performance 
degradation or inability to wirelessly connect to the firewall. For complete range and 
performance specifications, please see
