I am having problems maintaining a usable signal to my wireless ZyXEL router.
This is most likely due to problems with noise, interference, distortion and echo. The ZyXEL wireless router operates best within a range of 4 meters; however this can vary depending on the environment. There are a number of steps that you can take to improve the signal.
- Firstly, changing the channel that is used to transmit the signal may improve the connection if there is interference in the area. Instructions on how to do this can be found in the ZyXEL user manual.
- Wireless speakers, cordless earphones, some Bluetooth devices, and similar systems can be the source of interference. Some systems do not conform to wireless regulations. Shut off suspect devices or remove them from the area.
- Personal �systems� can also interfere with your network. Wireless speakers, cordless earphones, some Bluetooth devices, and similar systems can be the source of an infrequent but hard to find the problem. Some systems do not conform to wireless regulations. Shut off suspect devices or remove them from the area.
- Range is highly dependent on the physical environment. In a line-of-sight location, with elevated and calibrated antennas, range predictions are quite accurate.
- Range also depends on the electronic environment. If other equipment that could cause interference is nearby, the range of your transceiver could vary widely, and could change suddenly when the other equipment activates. Frequencies are shared with microwave ovens, cordless phones, wireless hi-fi speakers, electronics toys and similar devices. Try to keep your system away from other transmitters, and from other sources of electrical noise, such as large motors, spot welders, and similar electronically noisy devices.
- If you mount an access point close to fluorescent light fixtures, the lamp glow appears constant, but inside the lamp tube, ionization appears and disappears 120 times a second. This can modulate or chop an incoming signal and interfere with reception.
