Hello, everybody,
I am going to test wifi user localization feature of Netsight Advanced and hope that 3805 and 3916 suitable for this.
I have a rectangle shaped room about 7x14 meters, separated by dry wall.
I'll install 3x3805 and 1x3916 in the corners.
The question is whether any difference exists in how to setup AP: on a wall or on a ceiling?
I know it has special importance for user localization... Actually, in 2015 I've tried to do that but result was very negative. I've got just chaotic smoky lines like someone was running through the floor with fume torch or flare =))) I think it was because of rude AP deployment and their wrong orientation in space.
Are there any recommendations for how to setup AP in optimal way for this feature?
In 2015 the only property could be used to find a user was his MAC... Are there any improvements for today? May be, IP, username, etc?
Many thanks in advance for any comments,
Ilya

Hello, James,
it seems that I didn't explain my needs correctly, sorry...
I am not interested to have an ability to know to which AP the user is connected.
I am interested to know how he was moving through the coverage area - I am not sure how exactly this feature is called in NMS...
Thank you!
