Hello everyone-
I inherited an Aruba Instant network with roughly 10 AP's covering 6250 square feet of open floor plan space. Downstairs is 4764 sq/ft, and the upstairs loft is 1486 sq/ft. Upstairs I have 4 AP's around the perimeter. Downstairs I have 6 AP's in variety of positions (perimeter, with a couple interspersed inside the perimeter).
I have been battling dropping network issues, and have manually shut down a couple of IP's either administratively, or via pulling the cable. A couple of the units were showing up as rogues, and one was not getting any throughput to the users closest to it.
I have 3 SSID's, one is a guest, and two belong to the corp. I had created a 2nd ssid to try to get away from the interference of the rogue AP's, as well as from a couple of airport extremes that had the same SSID. I managed to remove those from the environment when I found them.
I need clarification on the maximum threshold per AP. I have one AP that is getting 53 clients, while the others are in the teens. I want to make sure that if I set both SSID's to a maximum threshold of 10 each, then with the 2 SSID's, and the 2 Radio's per AP, the max allowed per AP would be 40? After which the clients will search for the next closest AP?
There was a general meeting the other day that had 60+ clients on one AP, and their wireless dropped to a crawl. Any help would be greatly appreciated. It's a mixed environment of 105's and 135's.
Thanks-
Chris
