The client can only be a few feet from the AP to achieve this. Not typical or desirable in the real world. N/A -67 dBm Minimum signal strength for applications that require very reliable, timely packet delivery. VoIP/VoWiFi, streaming video -70 dBm Minimum signal strength for reliable packet delivery. Email, web -80 dBm Minimum signal strength for basic connectivity. Packet delivery may be unreliable. N/A -90 dBm Approaching or drowning in the noise floor. Any functionality is highly unlikely. N/A And what about SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio) SNR is not actually a ratio but the difference in decibels between the received signal and the background noise level (noise floor). For example, if a radio (cl

Network deployment strategies may vary, but most of the network deployments include several of the following steps: Define the Requirements Determine what applications and the anticipated number of users the network will host. Determine service areas, network security policies,end user devices, funding and scheduling. From these, define the network coverage, capacity, performance,compatibility, and security requirements. Conduct a visual site inspection. In Ekahau Site Survey, you define the network requirements by selecting the type of application used in the network, such as “data” or “voice over IP”. You can also create your own custom network requirements. The requirements can be edited from Project > Coverage/Capacity Requ
