[Nebula] How to optimize wireless performance with Deployment selection and Maximum output power?
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…

[Nebula] How to optimize wireless performance with WLAN Rate Control?
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,…

Why my access point is not performing at the maximum throughput?
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.…
