  • Just to add to that: Lots of controller based deployments support the power handling out of the gate, so there is no manual fiddling required. There are things like covereage hole detection, so if an AP goes offline, the ones around it increase their power in order to cover the empty area that the defective one left behind.

  • @MarioJost Thats true Mario but I did cover that by saying I have no idea what hardware they're using. Remember, this person works at a secondary school and from my experience, schools usually have outdated or old hardware. I've also seen plenty of environments where the hardware was capable of signal handling strategies like altering power etc. but it wasn't configured to do so, which is why I was pushing in the direction of doing a wifi survey and configuration review.
