In this tutorial, I share some of the lessons that I’ve learned when deploying these types of networks.

SMC 802.11n router

The finalization of the 802.11n standard and resulting deployments will probably be the next big thing for wireless LANs. For several months, vendors, such as SMC, D-Link, and Netgear have been shipping pre-802.11n routers. In most cases, only small businesses and homeowners have purchased these units. Check out the articles at the following link: http://www.infoworld.com/article/07/07/26/is-N-ready-for-the-enterprise_1.html. It has some interesting commentary from industry leaders regarding deployment of 802.11n in enterprises.

Use Wireshark Instead of Ethereal
(2 votes)

WireSharkMany of you may still be using Ethereal for obtaining packet traces of Wi-Fi networks.  About a year ago, Gerald Combs, Ethereal's lead developer, left his company and couldn’t keep the name "Ethereal." As a result, Gerald renamed the software "Wireshark" and has been supporting Wireshark since then. Instead of using Ethereal, which I don't believe is being supported anymore, I recommend downloading the latest version of Wireshark at www.wireshark.org. Wireshark is still free and provides the same (and better) functionality as Ethereal.

Near Field Obstructions in Mesh Networks
(3 votes)
Written by Jim Geier   
Monday, 02 April 2007
When deploying outdoor wireless mesh solutions, we've found that obstructions close to the mesh router antennas will significantly impact the propagation or radio waves. For example, trees and edges of buildings within about 20 feet of the antenna can degrade range by as much as 50 percent. So, be careful when planning the installation location of mesh routers!
