RF Interference due to power lines

RF Interference due to power lines

Hi,

 

I have an AP 250 mounted in a classroom ceiling that was working without issue. Due to a recent renovation to a classroom above, power lines were run across and through the ceiling . These lines power a computer lab above this room.

 

After that point, wireless traffic has been problematic. Connections dropping, lag times, etc.

If I step into the hallway, there are no problems with connections. I've ran multiple tests: swapping APs, working with Aerohive and adjusting radio rates/configs, checking neighboring APs for interference, etc.

 

We have a deployment of about 200 . No other rooms have these issues.

 

Aerohive says the wifi issues are due to RF interference. Support has been excellent but they are leaning toward a physical issue with the room.

 

Has anyone see this and can offer any suggestions?

 

Thank you.

Here is a pic of the power lines. They run across the ceiling in at least 6 areas.
