Note: Microwave ovens, cordless telephones, and other access points do not affect network

performance of the 802.11a radio.

Microwave Ovens

Microwave ovens operate in the same frequency band as 802.11g and 802.11b radios; therefore, if you use
a microwave oven within range of your wireless network, you may notice network performance

degradation. Both your microwave oven and your wireless network will continue to function, but you may

want to consider relocating your microwave oven out of range of your access point and wireless clients.

Cordless Telephones

IEEE 802.11bg radio may experience interference from some cordless telephones. For optimal performance,

consider operating cordless telephones out of range of your access points.

Other Access Points

Access points that are configured for the same frequency and that are in the same radio coverage area may

interfere with each other and decrease throughput. You can reduce the chance of interference by
configuring access points at least five channels apart, such as channels 1, 6, and 11.
