I work at a school. We are using an Extreme C35 controller. We have carts of laptops in classrooms next to each other. Is there a way to force the laptops to always connect to a particular AP so that they don't roam to nearby units?
We are looking at possibly 6 SSIDs. That would allow us to have unique connections for each room in a hallway. We can use the same SSIDs in other halls as they are physically far enough apart that they shouldn't cause a problem.
We have run the calibration on the wireless network. This helped some. The problem is that these are small classrooms and there are glass windows at the top of the wall of the room. So there is a lot of signal leakage from one room to the next. I...
