Need-To-Know: Wireless LAN Performance Improvement
"Probably the most frequently asked question about wireless LANs is how to improve their performance. Although the focus is usually on improving range, people many times want to get a better (or any!) wireless connection from a specific location in their home or small office.
There are actually a lot more options than you might think for attacking this problem, and this NTK will attempt to leave no stone unturned in the quest for a more satisfying wireless experience. What it won't cover, however, are techniques for wireless bridging, i.e., connecting multiple wired LANs via wireless links. That is presented in my Wireless Bridging NTK. I'll also be primarily focusing on indoor/ short-range WLANs, and leave the subject of long-range wireless LANs for another article."

You may wish to point out that the article originally appeared on www.smallnetbuilder.com which is a great site on all things wifi related.

Use IP addresses in your LAN's subnet that are above the range of addresses handed out by your DHCP server. That way you always know where to go to reach out and touch any APs that need attention.

Does this really matter?
