Controllerless Networks

Dear Team,

We have deployed around 9 outdoor 375 access points to cover complete remote staff location comprising of cabins whose doors looks like made up of metals in between. At farthest location from AP, the coverage & speed outside cabin is acceptable(around 15-17 Mbps on speedtest. net), however moment we enter inside room, signal drops completely. We have kept min & max power in RF settings 24 & max resp. Are we missing here something or any suggestions as users are using mix of N & AC devices. 95% users are using mobile phones only. Appreciate suggestion.

Attach AP status to give idea of how many users connected.

The metal door is just doing its job, unfortunately:

Can you share coverage pattern for this AP as I couldn’t find any from website when its mounted on pole. Image attached.

You could reduce interference by (1) Unchecking 80 mhz channels in ARM  and (2) Unchecking Wide Channels.  You are running 80mhz channels which will reduce throughput.  You know you are running 80mhz channels because there is an "E" after the channel.  You should run 20 mhz channels to reduce the channel utilization and improve the throughput.

How high do you have the access points mounted, and how far are they away from the users?  Do you have a map?

There are 4 zones in entire camp & each zone we have placed 2 outdoor 375 as per attachment.  Noticable thing here when we placed AP facing cabin then also its not penetrating signal inside cabin. I tried above settings you suggested but not much luck.

What are the cabins made of?  Metal also?  I cannot tell from those pictures.

The changes would not help them penetrate better, but it would help performance for the devices that have coverage.
