RSSI Scanner

System > Wireless (2.4GHz or 5GHz) > Wireless RSSI Scanner
The RSSI scanner feature allows the access point to scan for the signal strength of
wireless client devices that currently connected and configured to automatically
disconnect the wireless devices once signal strength and connectivity reach a specified
limit. In a wireless roaming network with multiple access points, this can assist by
forcing the disconnection of the wireless client device before signal strength and
connectivity to the AP are too low to sustain enough bandwidth for Internet streaming
applications. This will force the wireless client device to connect to an AP strong signal
and connection rate relative to it's new location. It is the nature of wireless client
devices to maintain connectivity to the currently connected wireless network as long as
the signal can still be discovered.
In the example diagram, you can see that the further away the client device is from the
AP, the lower signal strength. (-30 RSSI is a higher strength value relative the AP
compared to -90 RSSI). The client device at -90 RSSI is closer to the next AP but without
the forced disconnection from the AP on the left using the RSSI scanner function, the
client device would remain connected to the much further AP on the left than stronger
signal AP on the right. Forcing a disconnect from the originally connected AP on the
right would force the client to connect to the much higher signal strength AP on the
right providing better connectivity during the transition between physical locations.

•
RSSI Value: First select the minimum RSSI value (client signal strength) before
the AP disconnects the client (-30dBm is better signal strength than -90dBm).
•
Tolerance: Then select the tolerance or action once the AP detects the
specified signal strength of the client device is reached.
o
Kick immediately – This setting will immediately disconnect the client
once the specified RSSI value is reached
o
Detect # seconds – Once the specified RSSI value is reached for a
client device, this setting will check the client device signal strength
again after the selected number of seconds. If the signal strength is
still at the specified RSSI value or less, the client will be disconnected.
5. Click on Apply button to apply the settings and then click on the Save button located
on the top right section to save the settings.
