Hello community,
I managed to get IAP 304 (without external antennas) for my personal usage (home wifi). It is powered via ethernet (PoE) and my problem is that I have poor signal on 2.4Ghz. There is no issue with 5Ghz band.
Some information:
- As I mentioned I have no external antennas.
- I use IAP in my apartment which has 3 rooms (65m2) and IAP is placed in the middle room.
- IAP is not mounted on the roof, I leaned it on the wall in height cca 2 meters.
- IAP use version 6.5.4.21_81611
- I use ARM for signal strength (min tX - 6, max Tx - Max)
I tested signal strength with my smartphone. When I am in another room I have poor signal. When I came closer it is increasing but very slowly. I have average signal when I am 1 meter away from AP and good signal strength when I am 0,5m away from AP.
This is very disappointing for me because I thought that Aruba IAP should cover 1 small apartment with default setting without any issues.
I am thinking that it must be some trivial configuration mistake but I am not able to figure it out. I would be very grateful if you could help me figure it out.
Mikrotik router which is placed under AP on the desk has no issues to cover whole area with 2,4GHz band. When I tested AP, mikrotik router was turned off.
Thank you in advance,
Milan
