You should try to get your hands on some tools like Metageek.
Not being there hard to really tell what your issue is. Also, adding aps and powering up your aps could help. BUT i will say, in neigboring siutations lowerin the cell and adding more aps help. By making your cell smaller you are limiting the over all cell coverage. You will need to tool that will sniff your network and look at the retry rates.ħ. Now suppose 2 more people talk while you talk, not there is interference.Ħ. You being the ap and the other person client. If you are on a party line with 50 people. In fact, they will only interfer when they both tranmit at the same time. Although you have APs on the sma channel doesnt mean they will interfer all the time. If it is not you can have potential for interference.ĥ. Your next ap (yours or your neighbors should be 20 away) like -80. By this I mean, if you have a ap #1 and you laptop reads -60. If you have 2 aps on the same channel they should have a 20 dBm difference between them to lessen interference. You will note that channel 1 to channel 6 there is 25 MHz more than the 22 MHz that is required by the IEEE. It means channel 1 will be center on 2.412 channel 2 will be (5 MHz away) 2.417 etc. Also that each channel (1,2,3,4,etc) should have 5 Mhz spacing. IEEE states, each channel will be center frequency and that each channel (on 2.4 ghz) requires 22 MHz (center channel) spacing. IEEE allows 14 channels, depending on what country you live in. Let me take a few minutes and share with you a few things that I hope will help you better understand.ġ. Seems like you are very intersted in finding a solution for your problem.
I would disable aironet extensions on the radio, set the data rates to best rangeĪnd set the 3 non overlapping channel between your 3 access points to see how it goes. The wireless clients to connect but which exact setting would work would be providedīy the site survey results or configuring and testing until you get it to work. You can do tweaking as you mention on the access point settings to try to get Points and 3 rd party access points is not more than 15%, etc. The 20.4GHZ) between your access points and the 3 rd party access points so that theyĭo not create interference leaving the access points with the same channel the furtherĪpart, what power levels to use so that the overlap of the cell between your access
Locate each access point, how to distribute the 3 non overlapping channels 1-6-11 in Then determine how many access points to get to cover the required area, where to To determine the current RF interference the site has, which channels are being usedīy other access points and how strong the signal is seen to those APs from where youĪre located. Hi, Remember that when working with wireless we should always do a site survey to be able
