Hello all,
So i have been experimenting a lot with getting wireless (Cisco WAP371) as stable as possible, especially with iPhones and iPads. They do seem to connect but sometimes the SSID does not show up or it drops connection when in sleep mode.
What I have seen so far is that the combination of setting a static channel (1,6,11) on 2.4ghz with bandwidth of 20mhz (instead of 20/40) and disabling frameburst seems to help a lot. Specially since our house is pretty big and wifi strenght can sometimes drop to pretty low levels.
Now Ive also read a lot of articles about DTIM and Beacon interval settings, by default this was DTIM: 2 and Beacon Interval: 100 on this Cisco Access point. Does any of you have a good optimized setting that will work better with especially iPhones? I read a lot about DTIM of 1 and Beacon to 50 or 75.
So far DTIM: 2 and Beacon to 75 seems to work better then 100.
Any thoughts?
Reach is more important then speed in this case, since we use 5Ghz radio for AC speeds for laptops.
