I am guessing that you want to know what affects the throughput of the wireless side. Here are some off the top of my head.

- RF interference (Cordless phones, Bluetooth, microwave ovens etc.)
- Other WLAN devices (other Wi-Fi Devices on same or adjacent channels)
- Protection mode (11g AP's only)
- Fragmentation (usually off by default)
- RTS/CTS (usually off by default)
- Power Save Mode (especially legacy)
- Distance from AP - Data Rate

More detail:
- Beacon frame interval
- SSID length (ok, this is kind of a joke ;) )
- Encryption type (This shouldn't be considered as security comes first)

I can think of more if you like. :)

Success Stories

I literally just came out of the testing centre having taken the CWDP exam. The certification process opened my mind to different techniques and solutions. This knowledge can only broaden your perspective. Great job, CWNP, you have a great thing going on here.

Working through the CWNP coursework and certifications helped not only to deepen my technical knowledge and understanding, but also it boosted my confidence. The hard work it took to earn my CWNE has been rewarding in so many ways.

I want to commend you and all at CWNP for having a great organization. You really 'raise the bar' on knowing Wi-Fi well. I have learned a ton of information that is helping my job experience and personal career goals, because of my CWAP/CWDP/CWSP studies. Kudos to all at CWNP.
