Reduce Interference In Your Wireless Network
It is important to consider all potential sources of interference when deploying a wireless LAN (local area network). If you don't, you will likely never see the peak performance of your wireless network.
Many wireless devices can cause interference to your wireless network if they are transmitting on the same band. Also, if you have neighbors that use a 802.11b or 802.11g wireless access point (WAP) then this also could create interference.
For example, when neighboring companies and homes have their 802.11b/g access points set to channel 6 (default), this would have a great impact on the interference created in your network.
If you are experiencing poor performance with your LAN, then you should consider changing the frequency that you are operating on. When re-configuring your WAPs channel, try channels 1, 6 or 11 as these are non-overlapping channels and should yield the best performance.
