Plan Network Device Placement

Consider the range limits of your wireless network connections as you decide where to place each desktop PC. Specifically, make sure that the PCs with resources that you want to share, such as a printer or an Internet connection, are within range of the desktop PCs that need to access those resources.

If you include a notebook in your wireless network, make sure that the notebook will always be within range of one of its network peers whenever you want to use the network.
