Análise dos fatores que influenciam no desempenho da rede wireless caso de estudo: departamento de engenharia eletrotécnica da Faculdade de Engenharia

Abstract

The present work analyzes the factors that affect the wireless network performance and the case study, is the department of Electrical Engineering (DEEL) of the Faculty of Engineering (FENG). To achieve the desired results, was proceeded the methodology such as, field research collecting the information from students, the department network mapping was performed, bibliographic research including books, articles, grammar books and internet information. Qualitative research was chosen as it seeks solutions to society’s problems. During the research, it was found that although the architecture of this network has modern Access points (APs), however, they don’t function satisfactorily. It was found that the position of some APs, physical obstacles, current instability and temperature as the main factors that influence the performance of the DEEL wireless network. In this way, it is possible to mention that the corrective project should be done considering the possible critical points of the network, network security, performance and possible investment to achieve the objective.
