I have a working CAPsMan installation which controls about 15 units. WiFi generally works very well, but I came to the wall in a large storage area. I have a situation where devices seem to have very high signal levels, yer fall out or have weak transfer rather often. I also get stuff like failed 4-way handshake on good signal, etc.
As I haven't defined any specific channels, and devices select a range of channels, like: 1, 3, 4, 5, 7 and 11. Also, I left the devices without setting the power transmit levels to get max power, however that doesn't seem to work that well. While I seem to have loads of signal, devices seem to be too weak to send to the AP itself.
How can I diagnose the issues at hand and what to do to fix them? I tried using the access list to allow and limit access, but that didn't work that well, not sure how the signal level is calculated: *from* device or *to* (how?) device.
This is my first larger installation, so I would appreciate some help on how to set everything to work stable. THANKS!
