Research Abstract	WLANs have been spread at private spaces as well as public spaces because of its ease of installation, low cost, and high bandwidth. On the other hand, because these WLANs are densely placed and overlap each other, every WLAN degrades its providing wireless communication due to mutual radio interference. This study presents a quality index that can detect where an user have predetermined communication quality in WLAN area. Also, we deploy a wireless mesh network and collect technical knowledge to control overlapped WLAN area.
