Reduce interference.
Avoid windows unless communicating between buildings. Place wireless devices away from
various electromagnetic noise sources, especially those in the 2400–2500 MHz frequency
band. Common noise-creating sources are:

–
Computers and fax machines (no closer than 1 foot)
–
Copying machines, elevators, and cell phones (no closer than 6 feet)
–
Microwave ovens (no closer than 10 feet)

Choose your settings.
–
Use a scanning utility to determine what other wireless networks are operating nearby, and
choose an unused channel.

–
Turn off SSID Broadcast, and change the default SSID. Other nearby devices might
automatically try to connect to your network several times a second, which can cause
significant performance reduction.

Optimizing Your Network Bandwidth
The speed of network connections depends on the type of equipment that you use. Try to use high-
speed technologies for network connections with the heaviest traffic to avoid lower-speed
bottlenecks in the path.

Figure 3-1 on page 3-3
shows a home network that includes many different
connection speeds.
In this network, the two PCs with gigabit (1000 Mbps) Ethernet adapters have a gigabit connection
through the router to the storage server. With a high-speed router this connection allows for
extremely fast backups or quick access to large files on the server. The PC connected through a
pair of Powerline HD adapters is limited to the 200 Mbps speed of the Powerline HD connection.
Although any of the links in this example would be sufficient for high-traffic applications such as
streaming HD video, the use of older devices such as 10 Mbps Ethernet or 802.11b wireless would
create a significant bottleneck.
