Factors Affecting Wireless Access
Please be aware that many factors can affect wireless access. Wireless data networks, like Sewanee's, that use the 802.11b standard, operate in the 2.4GHz frequency band. Walls and obstacles can limit operating ranges and prevent users from connecting to the wireless network. Signals generally will not penetrate metal or concrete walls. Even trees and leaves can partially or entirely block a signal.
Other factors that reduce range and affect coverage area include metal studs in walls, concrete fiberboard walls, aluminum siding, foil-backed insulation inside walls or beneath siding, pipes and electrical wiring, and furniture.
Potential sources of interference include other wireless equipment such as 2.4GHz cordless phones, microwaves, Bluetooth wireless, some wireless cameras, radio transmitters, and other electrical equipment.
