Some of the most important considerations when troubleshooting wireless connections are:

• Other devices, such as microwaves and cordless telephones, can interfere with the signal.
• Some 802.11 standards are limited to what channels, in addition to specific frequencies, they can use to communicate.
• Windows 7 client can be configured to connect to a WAP automatically when it is in range.
• WAP devices in public places may be untrusted, even if they have a pass-phrase configured.
