Network Configuration
Overview
The wireless solution supports a stand‐alone wireless network configuration as well as an integrated configuration with 10/100 Mbps Ethernet LANs.
Wireless network cards, adapters, and access points can be configured as:
•Ad hoc for departmental, SOHO, or enterprise LANs
•Infrastructure for wireless LANs
•Infrastructure wireless LAN for roaming wireless PCs
The 802.11b and 802.11g frequency band which operates at 2.4 GHz can easily encounter interference from other 2.4 GHz devices, such as other 802.11b or g wireless devices, cordless phones and microwave ovens. If you experience poor wireless LAN performance, try the following measures:
•Limit any possible sources of radio interference within the service area
•Increase the distance between neighboring access points to reduce interference
•Decrease the signal strength of neighboring access points
•Increase the channel separation of neighboring access points (e.g., up to 5 channels of separation for 802.11b, up to 4 channels for 802.11a, or 5 channels for 802.11g)
