Optimizing Access Point Performance

ZoneDirector, through its Web interface, allows you to remotely monitor and adjust key
hardware settings on each of your network APs. After assessing AP performance in the context
of network performance, you can reset channels and adjust transmission power, or adjust the
priority of certain WLANs over others, as needed.
