How to check poor coverage in the 5GHz and 6GHz bands?
Higher frequency radio waves, like those used in the 5GHz and 6GHz bands, have shorter wavelengths. Shorter wavelengths have a harder time penetrating solid objects such as walls, floors, and furniture. This results in reduced coverage and signal strength as you move away from the wireless access point. To effectively…

How to enhance VR experience through Wi-Fi Optimization?
1. Establish a Separate SSID with an Isolated VLAN Subnet for VR Devices: By setting up a dedicated SSID on a separate subnet, you can effectively isolate VR device traffic, mitigating any potential performance issues caused by broadcast or multicast storms. 2. Fine-Tune WLAN Rate Control: Enhance the WLAN rate control…

Do my devices need to have Mesh function for roaming?
Roaming is the behavior of end device to move between different access points within the same network without losing connection. This can happen in traditional networks as well as in Mesh networks. Therefore, your devices that don't support Mesh function can still deliver roaming environment for end devices. The key…

The Difference Between Roaming and Mesh in Wireless Networks
Explanation: Roaming and Mesh are two key concepts in wireless networking, often mentioned in the context of enhancing connectivity and coverage. While they are sometimes confused or used interchangeably, they serve distinct purposes. Mesh network: It is a network that involves multiple APs working together to create a…

What is the ideal position for AP deployment?
APs are optimized for a horizontal position; it means APs are fixed on the ceiling. Please place the AP outside the ceiling. If needs to put AP inside the ceiling, make sure the front of APs is facing to the service area (usually down). Remember to avoid the metal material for interference such as cable tray, ventilation…

Can I position APs in direct line of sight?
We would recommend avoiding positioning Access Points (APs) in direct line of sight of each other, as this can cause interference and reduce the overall performance of your wireless network. In case, it may be necessary to position APs in direct line of sight of each other, we recommend: Adjusting the transmit power of…
