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�
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)�
