Hi. Would there be a benefit to having an AP located in the storage areas? Ideally the devices would roam to that AP and stay connected. Of course this assumes the device will roam, you have available channels, and other things but this is just a thought. One benefit could be if updates needed to be done it could utilize the AP in the storage area.
Other than that my manager did show me a post about wallpaper that will block RF signal. http://whatsnext.blogs.cnn.com/2012/07/18/signal-blocking-wallpaper-stops-wi-fi-stealing-and-comes-in-a-snowflake-pattern/comment-page-1/ -Jimmy On Fri, Dec 14, 2012 at 10:15 AM, Phillips, James <[email protected]>wrote: > ** ** > > We have several Ipad carts stored in one location.
