A Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) is a type of Local Area Network (LAN) that uses high frequency radio waves to communicate and transmit data. A reliable WLAN network will satisfy clients' needs and offer the best performance especially in data sharing within the network, where Access Points (AP) is used in the area. Even with the usage of APs, the propagation inside the building will suffer from interference and overlap channel. Hence, it is necessary to identify the quality of the wireless connection and how to improve the communication performance through WLAN by positioning the AP. Therefore, the performance of WiFi AP is optimized. It also analyses the study case of APs network problems and its performance. The scope of work area of the research is within the building, namely Intelek (which means Intellect) of Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Terengganu.
