1.5Wireless Performance

The following information will help you utilizing the wireless performance and operating coverage of WAP-4030A.

1.Site selection

To avoid interferences, please locate WAP-4030A and wireless client away from transformers, microwave ovens, heavy-duty motors, fluorescent lights and other industrial equipments. Keep the number of walls or ceilings between AP and clients as few as possible. Otherwise the signal strength may be seriously reduced. Place WAP-4030A in a open space or add additional WAP-4030A as needed to improve the coverage.

2.Environmental factors

The wireless network is easily affected by many environment factors. Every environment is unique with different obstacles, construction materials, weather, etc. It is hard to determine the exact operation rage of WAP-4030A in a specific location without testing.

3.Antenna adjustment

The bundle antenna of WAP-4030A is adjustable. Firstly install the antenna pointing straight up, then smoothly adjust it if the radio signal strength is poor. But the signal reception is definitely weak in some certain areas, such as location right down the antenna.

Moreover, the original antenna of WAP-4030A can be replaced with other external antennas to extend the coverage. Please check the specification of the antenna you want to use, and make sure it can be used on WAP-4030A.

4.WLAN Type

If WAP-4030A is installed in an 802.11b and 802.11g mixed WLAN, its performance will reduced significantly. Because every 802.11g OFDM packet needs to be preceded by an RTS-CTS or CTS packet exchange that can be recognized by legacy 802.11b devices. This additional overhead lowers the speed. If there are no 802.11b devices connected, or if connections to all 802.11b devices are denied so that WAP-4030A can operate in 11g-only mode, then its data rate should actually 54Mbps.
