issues

the situation I have is that one AP is reporting 87% signal, then
if you walk literally 3 ft in one direction it drops to zero. The 2
closest AP's were xmitting on chan's 1 and 11, the ap in question was
also xmitting on 11, so i changed it to 6, with the same results. I
also tried 11 again with a lower power setting and still had the same
results.

There is apparently alot of power conduit and coming out the top of the
office I am trying to extend this signal to. I am also going to try
some antenna with a higher db, I just find it odd that the signal goes
from
close to 90 to 0 in such a short distance.

Welcome to the world of residential wifi routers! Your issue
is a common one. You can obtain extenders that may or
may not actually help. Different routers may give you better
results also try relocating the router to the highest point in the
room and central to all locations that you want to be covered.

Good luck!

Cheers!

i appreciate the reply..

I suppose this is industrial as opposed to residential, the AP's exist
on a ceiling beam in a very large warehouse and are powered on
ethernet. They work flawlessly in other conditions very similar, i
just can't figure out the reason it would drop so drastically within a
few feet.
