Hi all, We’ve run into an issue in some of our sparsely covered areas (2.4GHz coverage optimised, not density optimised) where we have APs in a corridor style deployment. This is typically found in older buildings which means we’re dealing with solid brick interior walls.
These APs are typically running at maximum power levels (typically 3600/3700 series Cisco radios). In one case, we measured the client end (MacBook Pro) as -71dBm with an SNR of 22; the AP end saw the client with an SNR of 14 and a signal of -81dBm and connectivity was unreliable. I have seen similar results elsewhere with a similar deployment model. Has anyone else experienced similar issues with corridor style deployments at full power?
