WiFi Network Analysis and Configuration

Just as the typical home wired network was built with simple needs in mind, so too was the typical home WiFi network. While the "wireless router" provided by your Internet service provider allows you to connect your laptop over WiFi while you are sitting close to the hot spot, you probably notice that thereare places in your home where you can't connect...reliably. You may also have a TV or Blu ray player with built-in WiFi that has occasional trouble downloading program guides or other updates. And what about all those smart phones in the house that are competing for access to the wireless network. As your home becomes filled with more wireless devices, you will notice that your access to the wireless network becomes less reliable and your connection speed slows. This is because a WiFi network allows only one device to communicate with the access point at time. So the more devices you have connected to the access point, the slower the connection speed becomes as each device has to wait for its turn to send or receive data. And to make matters worse, your WiFi reliabilty can also be impacted by your neighbor's access point if it's set to the same channel as yours and causing interference.

These problems can be alleviated by installing additional access points in the appropriate locations in your home, and setting their broadcast channels correctly so they don't interfere with each other...or your neighbor's. A properly configured WiFI network will give you seemless and reliable wireless coverage throughout your entire home, with no dead spots or lost connections.
