WiSM Issue - More than three APs working at the power above threshold

zhenningx · ‎11-05-2007

According to the RRM document: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk722/tk809/technologies_tech_note09186a008072c759.shtml , for each AP, the 3rd loudest AP should be heard at the power equal or lower than the threshold (default -65dbm or -70dbm according to different codes). But in our enviroment, I can see it is not true. Many APs have more than three neighbours heard at above threshold. Is it true in your enviroment as well?

Thanks!

It's the way I have deployed the network. When the number of access point increases (though in diff channel) chances of interference increases leading to decreased performance. So Adjust the power settings and the number of access points accordingly.
