There are a number of other environmental factors that can impact the range of wireless
devices.
1. Adjust your wireless devices so that the signal is traveling in a straight
path, rather than at an angle. The more material the signal has to pass
through the more signal you will lose.
2. Keep the number of obstructions to a minimum. Each obstruction can
reduce the range of a wireless device. Position the wireless devices in a
manner that will minimize the amount of obstructions between them.
3. Building materials can have a large impact on your wireless signal. In an
indoor environment, try to position the wireless devices so that the signal
passes through less dense material such as dry wall. Dense materials
like metal, solid wood, glass or even furniture may block or degrade the
signal.
4. Antenna orientation can also have a large impact on your wireless signal.
Use the wireless adapter's site survey tool to determine the best antenna
orientation for your wireless devices.
5. Interference from devices that produce RF (radio frequency) noise can
also impact your signal. Position your wireless devices away from
anything that generates RF noise, such as microwaves, HAM radios,
Walkie-Talkies and baby monitors.
6. Any device operating on the 2.4GHz frequency will cause interference.
Devices such as 2.4GHz cordless phones or other wireless remotes
operating on the 2.4GHz frequency can potentially drop the wireless
signal. Although the phone may not be in use, the base can still transmit
wireless signals. Move the phone's base station as far away as possible
from your wireless devices.
If you are still experiencing low or no signal consider repositioning the wireless devices
or installing additional access points. The use of higher gain antennas may also provide
the necessary coverage depending on the environment.
