Does AP310i connected in line of site cause any slow speed or coverage issue due to interference?

In our HO we have VX9000 controller installed along with 2 310i Access points connected in line of site to each other. Users complaining slow speed issue also coverage is less.

Please refer attached floor plan along with access point placement marked in yellow.

Please let me know if the 2 access point in line of site causing any issue? How can I confirm what is the issue?

Thank you all for your inputs. After complete network logs review, we found that during the issue time our ILL link got chocked due to some windows 10 updates running on multiple PC’s in backend. So as of now no issue with slow speed & coverage.

Hi,

Just to add, what do you mean ‘slow speed’ and ‘coverage issues’? Slow speed ie. datarates or throughputs? How was it tested (speedtest.net, iperf, some apps like Youtube or downloading documents)? How many client devices are in the area connected to individual radios? Tx power seems quite high so if there were any coverage issues it might be due to wall loss or other kind of obstacles for example, and slow data might come because too many devices fight for the airtime at the same time. Some non-wifi interferences (or other wifi networks on same channels nearby) might affect WiFi performance as well.

Hope that helps,

Tomasz

Hello,

the channel looks good. Channel 52 is a DFS channel  that means if another so called primary user ( for example radar) is detected on the channel, it can be that the AP chooses a new channel. But if this is the cause, then the problems would occur only sometimes and only in 5GHz.

Do the problems occur in both frequency bands?

Are you using 20 or 40MHz wide channels?

I Just checked -

for AP 1 -

2.4 GHZ channel : 6; power : 15

5 GHZ channel : 52; power : 17

for AP 2 -

2.4 GHZ channel : 11; power : 15

5 GHZ channel : 36; power : 17
