How reliable are wireless networks?
A correctly installed wireless network will provide a reliable and stable connection for many years to come. However, unlike cabling wireless networks run on software. Like all software, a reboot once in a while is sometimes required. This is usually a case of powering down the access point and then switching it on again. Environmental factors can also influence wireless communications. External wireless networks are most at risk from this and some customers have reported a loss in performance during times of bad weather.
