Here are the specs for your antennas I don’t see a gain in the datasheet. Rarely use the external antenna versions of Aruba ap’s. Why would you want set your channels manually? ARM (adaptive Radio Management) works pretty well out of the box if you are manually setting channel and power then something is wrong I would not use a single channel if you decide to manually set your channel settings. Also keeping the TX power high on the 2.4 could cause co-channel interference.Ĥ) I would not recommend setting the channels manually. When a client is connected at the edge of wireless coverage (and you have the power turned up) that client will slow transmissions for all other clients attached to that AP. Just because an AP can blast a signal out further doesn’t mean the client can or should be connected at that distance from the AP. If the AP's are located close to each other they will set the power lower lowers, which will give you, better channel reuse. I really hope you can help me.ġ) You can change the minimum TX power but there might be a reason the power is not set a maximum. Is that good ?Ĥ- Should I manually set the channel on them and should they all use the same channel?Īgain, sorry for my dumb questions but Wireless isn't my thing but I DO want to learn more about this because I'll probably get more needs for solutions like that in the future. I put 4 for the 2.4ghz and 6 for the 5ghz, is this OK ?Ģ- What's the maximum lenght of a network cable to fully power the IAP?ģ- The VC tells me all my IAP get a -90DBm noise signal. **I'm not sure about the External Antenna gain setting. I understand that I might need more in the future to fully cover his space, but right now I'm more concerned about them outperforming the cheap routers he have so the price is justifyed. I'm pretty sure it's a configuration issue. I'm standing right under the IAP-134 and my Nexus 4 phone doesn't event get 100% signal. So here's my couple questions for you guys :ġ- How can you improve the range of IAPs? I mean, my client have some cheap 60$ TP-Link wireless N router that has WAY more range than the IAP-104, IAP-105 and IAP-134 I sold him. There will only be about 20 clients at peak time for inventory purpose of his warehouse. My client would prefer the 5ghz band though. They operate at 2.4ghz and 5ghz and I let them choose their channel. And they are all mounted horizontally on the ceiling and in an open space.

The highest ceiling is ~20 feet, most of them are at ~12 feet high. They are all connected to a 24 port PoE Switch 802.3at/af compliant with new Cat6 cable runs
They all seems to communicate correctly with each others, I can all see them on the VC I have different name for all of them for easy recognison They are all setup on a Virtual Controller I got the AP-ANT-1B for the 104 and 134 IAPs IAPs = 1x IAP-104, 3x IAP-105, 3x IAP-134 (More to come once we figure out what are the best for us) So excuse me for what might seems to be stupid questions but I'm doing the best I can since I'm able to get those AP and sell them to him. I'm not a Wireless guru as I usualy do cable networking and servers. I recently sold some IAPs to a client and I'm in the process of installing them.
