What Measures Can Be Taken If the Network Access Rate Is Low Due to Weak WLAN Signal Strength?
Symptom |
Cause |
Measure |
|---|---|---|
There are too many users that connect to the Internet in some time. |
Many users are surfing on the Internet at the same time at night, and traffic volume has exceeded the APs' capacities. Therefore, the network is congested or the network performance deteriorates. |
802.11n APs can be deployed in the dormitory building to provide higher capacities. |
The signal strength in some corners is weak. |
Users are sitting at upper berths far away from the door. |
It is recommended that users sit at desk or other positions close to the door. |
Gaming users are disconnected from the Internet. |
Gaming is a delay-sensitive service. If many users play online games in peak hours, the network is congested. |
Upgrade the APs or play online games in off-peak hours. |
The signal strength on STAs is weak (only one or two signal strength bars). |
The signal coverage in this room is insufficient. |
Check the signal strength of all antennas on the AP covering this room. If all antennas have a weak signal strength, check the AP and combiner. If one antenna has a weak signal strength, check the splitter and this antenna. |
