• Away from electrical devices that are potential sources of interference. Equipment that

might cause interference includes ceiling fans, home security systems, microwaves, PCs,

the base of a cordless phone, or a 2.4-GHz cordless phone.

• A

way from any large metal surfaces, such as a solid metal door or aluminum studs. Large

expanses of other materials such as glass, insulated walls, fish tanks, mirrors, brick, and

concrete can also af

fect your wireless signal.

When you use multiple access points, it is better if adjacent access points use different radio

frequency channels to reduce interference. The recommended channel spacing between

adjacent access points is 4 channels (for example, use Channels 1 and 5, or 6 and 10).
