Hello. I have bought mAP lite but its performance seems too poor.
The AP is provisioned from a RB750Gr3, 4 different SSID (4 VLANs), powered by Cisco active PoE switch.
- if I move it 5 cm from the mAP lite, I get -30 dBm signal which is excellent.
- if I move it 1.5 m from the mAP lite (still in the same room), I get -65 dBm signal, which is still good but quite a drop
- if I move to a room separated by brick wall, keeping door open, with the mAP lite right behind the wall, signal goes down to -85 dBm with poor speed (<5Mbps) and phone connecting to LTE instead.
Looking at frequency usage, I don't see interference as a problem but I did try channels 1, 6 and 11 without much difference. Therefore I wonder: is mAP lite performance really meant just for close range? Even 1 wall can degrade the signal so much?
I tried TPLink old Wifi router which covered the whole floor, even passing 2 brick walls with the phone still getting full internet speed (50 Mbps).
