Here are some basics of what you should know about wireless access point installation and setup.

Wireless Access Point Configuration

There are various ways to configure the point of access for clients and partners. Serial cables can connect your desktop or laptop to the console port of the wireless accessing point. You can also use terminal software to control your configuration screens and settings, including radio channels and power transmission. The one downside of this configuration is that it is not always the very user-friendly cause of its basis in characters. You also face with problems like limitations in the physical movement of the wireless access point when you use a serial cable.

You can access your configuration screens from a consumer Internet browser by simply replacing the access point IP address for the Web page address. If your IP is within a specific range, the Internet browser gives you a better format when rendering the configuration screens.

Wireless Access Point Configuration Options

There are many variable options on your wireless access point that should be available. The main option is usually the IP address. Having the authority to apply a dynamic host configuration protocol gives you the control to get a new IP address from a DHCP server.

You can also set the extent of wireless access point radio channels to different ranges so that they do not intervene with each other. This becomes important the bigger that your AV infrastructure becomes. You can use channels 1, 6, and 11 to minimize conflicts in frequency over 802.11b and 802.11g networks. You may also set 802.11a wireless points to entirely different channels.

Setting the transmission power gives you range or saves money depending on your needs. A better range minimize the costs for your customers. However, you can set your wireless access points closer together and set the power lower if you want to boost the capacity of your partner’s network. On lower power settings, wireless signals are also limited in their ability to spawn outside a controlled area that you set, which drastically improves security.

You can also improve security by setting your service set identifier far away from its default name. Unauthorized users will have a more hard time associating with your access point. You can also completely disable SSID broadcasting. This is a great solution if you are using a Windows OS and you are not sure of the stability of the system.

Investing in an installation partner with the features above will ensure efficiency in your Internet connections and streamlined upgrades in the future. Save yourself the hassle of a DIY installation and call a professional now and focus on your main competencies.
