hi there

ummm ... can you give a bit more background on your question please :)
have you been reading something that you didnt understand ?
if so quote some of the text

1) air interference ... no idea what you are referring to ? atmospheric losses ?
2) WiFi access point ... is what it says ... an access point for connection to a wifi signal

Google WiFi Access Point :)

In RF/wireless circles, "air interface" means antenna. Is this what you meant?

he said interference, not interface --- so unless he typo'ed I took it as read
but I agree with your comment :)

1. What causes air interference in a Wi-Fi access point?

Air interference in a Wi-Fi access point is caused by other wireless devices or physical obstacles such as walls, metal objects, or large appliances that obstruct the Wi-Fi signal.

2. How does air interference affect Wi-Fi performance?

Air interference can lead to degraded Wi-Fi performance, resulting in slower internet speeds, dropped connections, and overall poor network performance.

3. Can air interference be prevented?

Air interference cannot be completely prevented, but it can be minimized by choosing the right location for the access point and using a wireless channel with less traffic. Additionally, using a newer Wi-Fi standard, such as 802.11ac, can help reduce interference.

4. How can I troubleshoot air interference in my Wi-Fi network?

If you are experiencing Wi-Fi issues, try changing the location of your access point, updating your device drivers, or using a different wireless channel. You can also use a Wi-Fi analyzer tool to identify sources of interference and adjust accordingly.

5. Is there a way to boost Wi-Fi signal in areas with high air interference?

Yes, you can use Wi-Fi repeaters or range extenders to boost the signal in areas with high air interference. These devices will help extend the range of your Wi-Fi network and improve connectivity in areas where the signal is weak.
