Distance Between APs
In networking environments where you have either data intensive users, or a
large number of users in a small area, you may wish to consider increasing the
number of Access Points (making the distance between Access Points smaller),
and then adjusting the Distance Between APs parameter to optimize the load
balance of the number of wireless stations per Access Point.
To change the Distance Between APs parameter display the

single-cell networks, but will also provide an efficient and cost effective solution
for most networks that include multiple wireless cells.
CAUTION:The setting for distance between Access Points must be the same
for all 11Mbps Wireless LAN equipped devices in your wireless
network. A mismatch in the configuration setting for this parameter
may have unpredictable performance results for wireless (mobile)
stations in your network.

stations experience slow network response times even though the quality of
radio communications is rated as excellent. The slow response times might be
experienced in areas where:
A high number of wireless stations is located close to one another, causing
other stations to defer data transmissions.
A number of wireless stations engaged in heavy network traffic is causing
other stations to defer data transmissions.
