Setting Description
Criteria of Auto-placement
Wi-Fi Coverage Move the slider to the required WiFi coverage. The minimum coverage is 10 percent;
Percentage The maximum coverage is 100 percent.
Base the WiFi coverage on the following components:
•
•
•
A small area allows you better coverage control than a large area. You might need to
set the WiFi coverage percentage for the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands separately.
Note:
configure moderate overlap of the covered areas and make sure that access points in
overlapping areas do not use the same channels.
Minimum Signal Move the slider to the minimum required signal strength. The maximum signal quality is
Strength –30 percent; The minimum signal quality is –95 percent.
The required signal strength for good coverage depends on the type of WiFi devices
and applications in the network. The edge of a coverage area for an access point is
based on the signal strength and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), measured as a WiFi
device moves away from the access point.
Note:
-67 dBm and a minimum SNR of 25 dB.
Band From the Band menu, select 2.4G or 5G.
If the selected access point does not support the 5 GHz band, the menu selection is
