– Computers and fax machines (no closer than one foot)

– Copying machines, elevators, and cell phones (no closer than 6 feet)

– Microwave ovens (no closer than 10 feet)

• Choose your settings.

– Use a scanning utility to determine what other wireless networks are operating nearby, and

choose an unused channel.

– Turn off SSID Broadcast, and change the default SSID. Other nearby devices may

automatically try to connect to your network several times a second, which can cause

significant performance reduction.

speed technologies for network connections with the heaviest traffic to avoid lower-speed

bottlenecks in the path. The following figure shows a home network that includes many different

connection speeds.
