**Channel Selection**
- Use WiFi analyzer tools to identify less congested channels
- For 2.4GHz networks, stick to channels 1, 6, or 11
- Utilize the 5GHz band when possible for better performance
**Access Point Placement**
- Position access points centrally and at ceiling height
- Avoid obstacles like walls, metal objects, and interference sources
- Consider coverage overlap for seamless roaming
**Security Configuration**
- Use WPA3 encryption (or WPA2 if WPA3 isn't available)
- Implement strong pre-shared keys
- Consider enterprise authentication for larger networks
**Bandwidth Management**
- Set up Quality of Service (QoS) rules
- Limit bandwidth for non-critical applications
- Prioritize business-critical traffic
**Regular Maintenance**
- Update firmware on access points and controllers
- Monitor network performance metrics
- Conduct periodic site surveys
