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. • Use WMM to improve the performance of voice and video traffic over the wireless link. 6-2 Fine-Tuning Your Network v1.1, May 2008
