- Security. It is absolutely imperative that your wireless network is secured. This means that only authorised users should be able to access your network. If this is not the case, it might be possible for a third party to use the connection, which opens users up to threat of theft or fraud. In some cases it is possible to access your network and potentially the information that is transmitted across. WiFi connectivity enables users of that service to use passwords to ensure that only users who know their details can gain access. Furthermore unauthorised access can also slow down performance. Unauthorised access is ultimately considered theft because people that do this are accessing a service that they are not paying for.
- Range. Distances of the available WiFi can be sporadic and this can be affected by the size of your company’s building and thickness of walls. It can even be affected by weather conditions and leafs on trees acting as a barrier to the signal. However, this can be resolved by using more than one transmitter.
- Some wireless adapters work on the same frequencies that may be used by other organisations. This can sometimes result in interference and poor performance.
- Different brands of equipment may not be compatible with each other, and this can cause communication issues.
