Improve The Performance Of A Wireless Network

The process of wireless Network Installation and configuration is very simple but the main point is to improve and maintain the performance of a wireless network. Many IT Support and Network Support suggest improving the signals quality. The signals quality can be improved by the following steps:
• Position your wireless router in a central location away from walls and static electricity, which can interfere with wireless signals
• Position the wireless router on an elevated surface and away from metallic surfaces.
• Replace your wireless routers antenna with high-gain antennas.
• Update your wireless routers drivers.
• Add wireless repeaters, which are able to extend the wireless coverage without installing additional wires. The wireless repeaters are placed between the wireless wireless router and your computer, instantly boosting the wireless signal strength.
• Upgrade your hardware from 802.11b to 802.11g. The 802.11g technology will increase the speed about 5 times more than 802.11b
• Use a WEP password when setting up your wireless router to prevent others from connecting to and using your wireless connection
