NETWORK + II Asssignment Module 4
You have recently added a second Wireless Access Point to a network due to office growth and the need for more bandwidth. Most of the employees are now complaining of even worse network speeds, stalls, and even the inability to connect to the network at all.
Discuss your method of discovering the problems and at least four (4) possible causes.
The second wireless access point could be on a different channel. The WAP could be configured to the wrong SSID, or operating using a different standard that isn't the same or compatible with the clients or original WAP. You may even need to have a professional conduct a wireless survey to account for other interference of the radio signals. Or, you actually may need to address the placement of the WAP in relation to clients and surroundings, as large objects and certain materials may inhibit your signal strength altogether.
