I have started using the spectrum analyzer features available for Aruba and I am hoping I can get a better understanding of the data through some expert comments.
In the table below am I correct to say:
1) the microwave ovens with strong signal and moderate duty cycle (20-30) will stop the wifi communication when the signal is present, but since it is not 100% duty cycle web pages and smaller items will load but performance will be drastically reduced?
2) the video device that shows up near this AP with a weak signal -79 but high duty cycle, 99 would prevent this AP from operating, or is the signal weak enough that the AP will ignore it. (is there a rough guide to estimate when the interfere power is low enough to be ignored and when the AP will take notice)
3) a client sitting closer to the above video device and trying to use this AP would be knocked offline, or is it possible they would maintain the association but have a non functional network?
Thanks,
Matt
