We have 9 AP's 250s within close proximity of one another some only 20-30ft apart

I am wondering when the option "High Density Configuration" is required, and what affect this has on the AP reach and configuration . As the AP's sit on Auto power allocation I am wondering if they should be allowed to transmit at 16db in almost open space on their 5Ghz radio.

Also as 250's have been around for a while what benefits could we see on slightly higher models.

Hi , these are the AP's (The one with the power 9 is the detail I shared, the adjacent AP's are the bottom entry (power 16) and the 3rd line showing (power 15), we use 40Mhz,

The neighbor list isn't populating which is odd, can you see neighbors from any of the other APs? Have you got either DFS or UNII-3 channels enabled? With many APs in a small area if you don't have one of these enabled you may be getting co-channel interference.

Could you screenshot the hivemanager page with the channels/tx powers the APs are using?

Hi All I see this on one of my AP's for example which is between two other APs literally 20ft either side of it in clear view

#show acsp neighbor

wifi0(7) ACSP neighbor list (0/384):

wifi1(8) ACSP neighbor list (0/384):

#show interface wifi1

AC=access category; be=best-effort; bg=background; vi=video; vo=voice;

AIFS=Arbitration Inter-Frame Space; Txoplimit=transmission opportunity limit;

IDP=Intrusion detection and prevention; BGSCAN=background scan; PS=Power save;

HT=High throughput; A-MPDU=Aggregate MAC protocol data unit;

DFS=Dynamic Frequency Selection; CU=Channel Utilization;

EIRP=Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (Transmit Power + Max Antenna Gain + Max TX Chains Gain);

Summary state=High collision;

This is on power 9, whereas two adjacent AP's either side 20ft away of it in an Open office are on 15/16 , I suspect this is being drowned ?

Thanks Sam for this , as I am fairly new to Aerohive , I always thought you had only 1 of the speeds set to Basic, what is the relevance of the 2 .. ie 12 being set to Basic and 24 set to Basic.
