Problems and Solutions
Throughput and connection range vary
If there are large variations in throughput and range even when equipment is stationary, the cause may be nearby sources of radio frequency interference. WLAN radios operate in unlicensed frequency bands where many other sorts of radio devices may also operate. Such radio devices may severely impact performance of the WLAN. Devices which may cause interference include cordless telephones, microwave ovens, and Bluetooth radio devices.
If the problem is due to a cordless telephone, either the telephone or the WLAN device can be moved to another frequency in the band for improved performance. For channel changing instructions, refer to your telephone or WLAN device documentation.
