Problem
Release 16/7/2009
Suggested Solution
Smith should try placing the access point at a central
location far away from physical obstructions and
mirrors. He can also change the position of the
antenna sideways or downwards just to check if there
is better reception. He can also replace the antenna
with a high gain antenna or install a repeater to
troubleshoot the problem if there is no success in the
previous solution.
