Maintaining the Wireless Network

To maintain the wireless network, you should regularly check the wireless coverage area,
communications quality, and data throughput efficiency.

As your environment changes, you may need to adjust wireless parameters or move APs to
account for new obstructions or new sources of radio interference. You may also need to
add APs should the number of users increase.

In addition, you should regularly check the RoamAbout Wireless web site for product
updates.
