• Ensure Signal >= 25%: The Signal value under Neighbor APs that shows
"Connected" should be 25% or better. If it is lower, you need to bring the AP
closer, or move it to avoid an obstruction, such that the Signal value becomes
25% or better. For a more conservative design, you may use 35% as your Signal
benchmark.
• Ensure Minimum 2 Uplink options for every MAP: In addition, under Neighbor
APs, it is best practice that there exists an alternate path for this mesh uplink.
This alternate path should also have a Signal of 25% or better. Stated differently,
there should be at least 2 possible links that the MAP can use for uplink, and
both should have a Signal value of 25% or better. For a more conservative design,
you may use 35% as your Signal benchmark.
