Re: [SOCALWUG] WLAN Design Question

[Jack Unger]

Get help from an experienced wireless LAN designer. You likely have too 
many access points located too close together. Under normal-use traffic 
loads, you will have an unacceptably high level of self-interference 
(too many packets colliding with each other). The result will be slow 
throughput.

I was looking for some resources on wlan design. I have a 6 story building
with approx 5 radios per floor. All radio's are in the same SSID. The idea
was to provide redundancy for the users but most pc's only get an acceptable
signal from one radio anyway. It seems as if this one large SSID approach is
causing more of an interference problem than anything else. Would it be
better to break the building up into separate SSID's? Any thoughts or
resources would be appreciated.
Thanks
