Abstract

Recently, a massive demand for wireless communication for big data transfer has risen. However, the interface and high noise stem from a large number of wireless local area networks require a better improvement of our own wireless devices; one of the best solutions is to locate an optimal location for the access point to achieve good received signal strength. In this research, a case study of a large house is simulated using Wireless Insite software to find the optimum location of the access point to investigate better coverage area. In addition, the performance of wave propagation for frequencies of 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz are carried out to show the differences between them. The results help to find the optimum location that gives optimal coverage area. Also, the results show that using 5 GHz leads to significant attenuation in received power by about 12.744%; this means that the transmitted power of the 5 GHz has to be increased by the same percentage to achieve the same coverage area when using 2.4 GHz.
