How about correct wireless
deployment? Don’t rely on the basic utilities that come with the wireless adapter or access point. Invest in a low cost wireless networking tool that will show graphically in a 2D or 3D format the signal strength for a particular Access Point or client. Very often dead spots, sometimes called RF Shadow, can occur because of the building infrastructure or interference with other 2.4Ghz devices in the area. Using correct wireless channel numbering and deployment of the access points in high up positions will yield the best results from your WLAN. These utilities will also help with the inventory of your network by recording the MAC address of the
access points together with the MAC address names of the clients attaching to them. This allows easy setup of MAC filtering in the access points themselves, plus of course any wireless devices that may be faulty and thus producing broadcasting storms across the WLAN and LAN itself. Taking a pragmatic and systematic
approach to your wireless network before deployment, together with utilising a robust wireless encryption, will pay dividends with your client. By doing this, you can provide a safe and secure networking environment with the added benefit of reduced engineering callouts and network downtime.
