This section provides the user with ideas for how to improve the
performance of a R100 Wireless Gateway.
Site Topography
For optimal performance, position wireless mobile clients and the R100
Wireless Gateways away from transformers, heavy-duty motors,
fluorescent lights, microwave ovens, refrigerators, and other industrial
equipment. Signal loss can occur when metal, concrete, walls or floors
block transmission. Situate the R100s in open areas or add additional
R100 gateways as needed to improve coverage.
Microwave ovens operate in the same frequency band as the R100.
Therefore, if you use a microwave within range of the gateway you
may notice network performance degradation. However, both your
microwave and the R100 Wireless Gateway will continue to function.
Site Surveys
A site survey (utility provided with the WLAN PC card and CF card)
analyses the installation environment and provides users with
recommendations for equipment and its placement. The optimum
placement differs for each model.
