2. Avoid Obstacles and Interference
Avoid placing your Router near devices that may emit radio “noise,”
such as microwave ovens. Dense objects that can inhibit wireless
communication include:
• Refrigerators
• Washers and/or dryers
• Metal cabinets
• Large aquariums
• Metallic-based, UV-tinted windows
If your wireless signal seems weak in some spots, make sure that objects
such as these are not blocking the signal’s path (between your computers
and Router).
3. Cordless Phones
If the performance of your wireless network is impaired after attending
to the above issues, and you have a cordless phone:
•
Try moving cordless phones away from the Router and your
wireless-enabled computers.
•
Unplug and remove the battery from any cordless phone that
operates on the 2.4GHz band (check the manufacturer’s information).
If this fixes the problem, your phone may be interfering.
•
If your phone supports channel selection, change the channel on
the phone to the farthest channel from your wireless network. For
example, change the phone to channel 1 and move your Router to
channel 11. See your phone’s user manual for detailed instructions.
•
If necessary, consider switching to a 900MHz cordless phone.
