Networking Fundamentals

Reducing transmission power

We tend to leave our wireless devices at the default settings as far as transmission power is concerned. Now is the time to ask yourself, do you need it that strong. If you only need coverage within your building, and not in the parking lot or the cafe across the road, reduce the transmission power. As long as everyone in your organization can still connect, you will be fine, and it avoids an attacker sitting in their car connecting in.
