Reduce interference on a wireless network

The following tips can reduce interference in a wireless network:

●Keep the wireless devices away from large metal objects, such as filing cabinets, and other electromagnetic devices, such as microwaves and cordless telephones. These objects can disrupt radio signals.

●Keep the wireless devices away from large masonry structures and other building structures. These objects can absorb radio waves and lower signal strength.

●Position the wireless router in a central location in line of sight with the wireless products on the network.
