Implementing a wireless connection for your home
First off, some food for thought. Connecting other computers throughout your home or to the Internet wirelessly comes with a bit of restrictions. The 802.11b/g wireless standard that the BEC Modems provides allows for a range roughly up to 35 meters (or 115 feet) indoors with speeds up to 54 Mbps. The frequency that these wireless signals are being passed on is 2.4 GHz meaning that some features in homes (walls, metal, brick, microwaves, wireless internet cameras, cordless phones and other devices operating on the 2.4 GHz frequency) may significantly degrade wireless transmission.
Some simple steps that one could do to help with the common interference that wireless networks attract are
- Placing the BEC Modem or any other access point in a center location in the home
- Avoid placing the BEC Modem or access point low to the ground. On a higher position, possibly a shelf on the wall, better signal transmission is likely.
- Also avoid placing the BEC Modem or access point near any of the above mentioned common household objects as wireless signal could be low or even obsolete.
