Common Problems with Wireless
Everyone wants to get wireless in those days. It is a kind of "what to do." The funny thing though is that nobody seems to know what they're doing when it comes to wireless. They think they crack open the box plug in some wires and go. Well, actually not so simple.
Number one, would be security. You absolutely must think about security if you deploy a wireless network in your home or office. If you think that is helping to your IT department by putting an access point in your office so you can move things around your desktop with more freedom, you are sadly mistaken. If you've done this without creating any type of encryption, which just opened a huge door back to their company network. At home, you may not be so worried. If someone shares my internet So what? Someone next door could easily setup a phishing scam in the apartment next door, and use the wireless connection for Internet access. Then, guess whose door the FBI come knocking on? Yes, yours. So encryption is a necessity, I recommend using WPA and not WEP because WEP has proven to be easily manipulable.
Number two, would be the placement. Before you create anything, you should do a site survey. Walk around your home or office and look things that can cause interference. Map things out, and take notes. Take a laptop with Netstumbler installed and look for other wireless networks in range and see what channels are. Some things that can cause problems are:
* Cordless Phones / Microwave Ovens: These devices operate at 2.4 GHz, which is the same frequency 802.11g / router N use. Since both operate on the same frequency, interfering with the signals of others.
* The walls Concrete: Concrete causes a problem, not the thickness or the re-bar in it, but by water in the mixture. The magic in particular is that never fails to cure, and water on the wall can cause signal loss.
* Report the antenna: Some people think that pointing the antenna is self-explanatory, but it is not. You can not point your antenna like you point a finger because the signal coming off the antenna radiates from the sides of the antenna, not the top.
* Wireless Channels: By default, most routers come pre-configured to use channel 6 or 11 (if I remember correctly). Find what channel surrounding networks are using and select a different channel. As mentioned above, Netstumbler for Windows works well for this, and Kismet for Linux and MAC Kismac.
* Chicken Wire: That's right, I said chicken wire. I have not come up with this. I had a wireless class at college, and my teacher told us about the chicken wire. Chicken wire is used in some homes where they hold the insulation in the walls, or used when placing plaster walls. The holes in the mesh are not large enough to allow the signal wave of the wireless signal to penetrate the wall and creates a kind of Faraday cage.
Number three, the compatibility. Almost all wireless devices come with Wi-Fi logo is supposed to indicate some kind of standard. It is suggested that if you have Belkin router, Linksys wireless card should be compatible. Well, 9 out of 10 times that is true, but occasionally there is that 1 time that is not true. It is almost always best practices to adhere to the same manufacturer. If you are a D-Link person, go with D-Link, Linksys, if you like, stick with Linksys and so on.
Item number four, the firmware. The manufacturers of equipment frequently come out with firmware updates for their products. If you notice problems with your router or card, search the website makers for a possible firmware update. Many times, the update can fix the problems you are having.
Number five, a gain or loss. Every time you have to send a signal through a wire you have loss. If you have a long cable that goes from your modem, CSU / DSU, etc. your router will be no signal loss. The longer the cable, the greater loss. Similarly, the air, create signal loss as well. The more far be it from the antenna, the weaker the signal. Furthermore, whenever you have an antenna, you have profit. Each time the signal leaves the antenna, or received by an antenna is a bit of gain in the signal. So what does this mean for you? Shorten the wires, if possible, and buy higher gain antennas for routers, if you need the signal to travel long distances.
