Potentially Problematic Interactions: Why You Need to Carefully Consider Wireless Technology Choices

April 29, 2010 by josh

wi-fi overlapHello and welcome to Computer Fitness’ Blog! My name is Josh. You may know me from the Internet Beacon. We have a pretty cool blog over there. If you’re new to our sites, do check it out; there’s plenty more awesome over there. Computer Fitness is a tech support firm in Finksburg, MD. Our areas of expertise run the gamut from desktop repair to server maintenance.

Certainly a wireless world makes things a lot easier. Think about all the wireless technology you own. It could be a lot or just a cordless phone for your landline. If it’s just the phone, maybe grab some new stuff. That’s just me. We tech folks tend to push for the latest and greatest. However, there are times when you need to carefully consider which technologies you employ.

In this case, wireless technologies often operates on the same frequency. That frequency is the 2.4ghz range. This frequency is the standard for wireless devices and, as such, can be a bit problematic on occasion. Think about your cordless phone, wireless router (Wireless A/B/G 802.11), wireless mouse, etc. all talking on the same line. It can be troublesome.

The best way to avoid this is to make sure there is enough space between the devices. I know this may sound like a simple solution, but it has proven to be the best one. For example, many people have their desktop computers right next to their routers. Not everyone, but a lot. If you have a wireless mouse broadcasting on the same frequency as the router, you may notice your mouse being a bit jumpy or unresponsive at random times. This is because two different data streams are broadcasting on the same frequency in close proximity. In this case, it might be best to just switch to a wired mouse. This is just one example of a potentially problematic interaction.

In the end, just make sure that you give your devices enough space to function properly. And, if it means being mildly inconvenienced to ensure they all play nice together, it’s worth it. That’s all for this week. Come back again for more Computer Fitness tips.
