In some environments, APs may set up with the same channel despite being near each other, which can cause interference and affect network performance due to co-channel interference. To improve the performance of the wireless network, it's essential to optimize the channel settings. Configuration: Go to Configure > Access…
The wireless client nowadays usually designed to prefer the 5GHz band over 2.4GHz. Radio 2.4GHz is shared with a lot of other devices (Bluetooth, microwave) which may generate interference. Wi-Fi signal can also interfere with each other if using the same channel. In radio 2.4GHz, there are 13 channels available and only 3…
Function description: WLAN Rate Control is the feature to let users set up the basic transmission rate of AP. The higher rate is set, the shorter transmission period can be achieved because less air time will be occupied by management frames. Scenario: Lots of management frames transmitted in low rate occupy huge air time,…
Function description: Nebula provides Allow 802.11ax/ac/n stations only function to restrict 802.11a/b/g clients connecting to Nebula device. If turned ON, legacy clients including 802.11a/b/g will not be allowed to associate. Scenario: When legacy clients including 802.11a/b/g are connecting to APs, the total wireless…
Function description: Storm Control is a feature to help network administrator to limit the broadcast or multicast packets amount per second(pps). Enable the storm on access point will drop ingress packets on uplink port to release more air time to transmit data. The value of Broadcast storm packet is 100 pps and Multicast…
Function description: The rate limit is to limit the Wi-Fi clients upload and/or download bandwidth. Set the maximum data download and upload rates, on a per-station basis. Scenario: In hotspot scenario such as hotel, café, airport, etc that many wireless users with different capability may use Wi-Fi. Some users may feel…
The wireless performance decreases if the loading of AP is too heavy. Nebula provides two load balancing modes to balance network traffic among multiple APs to resolve poor Wi-Fi connectivity due to AP overloading. Distribute wireless traffic across multiple APs to share the loading on network by detecting number of…
Function description: The smart mesh is a wireless coverage extend solution for all Nebula AP models that is free and easily setup by just one click on Nebula. With Smart Mesh, you can have two or more Nebula APs automatically create a mesh network within your deployment location. And with wireless bridge…
Where to find: Configure > Access points > Radio settingsFunction description: While deploying the APs, we can use the configuration to help the stations connect to the correct AP or roaming. Normally, if the station has 5G availability, we will try to let the station choose 5G first because 5G has less interference and…
Network administrator needs a more complicated method if wants to monitor and optimize the quality of wireless. In Nebula Pro pack, Wireless Health feature uses a clear graphic to display the health status to let you know health of wireless networks for your APs and connected wireless clients. In spite of monitor wireless…
Wireless throughput will be reduced by enabling these specific AP features: - Captive portal - Rate limiting When any of these features are enabled, the access point device needs to check the packet content, which will cause a throughput drop to roughly 100Mbps. An enhancement of these features is already in the roadmap.…
Troubleshooting when Wireless link speeds/throughput are low on AP A simple way to troubleshoot when experiencing low throughput when using APs. There are many reasons capable to cause low throughput in your network. In general, wireless interference and connectivity issues of the wired network would be the most…
