4. At what distance will I receive a wireless signal?
The wireless network was designed to provide coverage in buildings and some outside areas. The signal strength will be dependent on
obstacles between the device and access point within the area. Another factor that can have impact is interference such as wireless
handsets and microwave ovens. Access points have been positioned for best possible coverage with minimal interference.
5. Will my wireless connection be as quick as if I was connected to the physical LAN?
No.
6. Will I be able to associate to a particular access point?
No. The wireless client will connect to the best available signal. You may also find that when you move out of an area it will not
reassociate with a closer access point, this is because it is still having a good enough connection to the original access point.
