Question

Post-validation at a city warehouse shows a coverage null behind dense racking where AP density is already moderate and channels are clean. Power is near design maximum on the nearest AP, and the antenna is an integrated omni. What remediation is most appropriate?

Accepted Answer

Add an AP or relocate coverage with an appropriate antenna pattern rather than only raising power further on an already hot omni cell. — If power is already high and the omni still cannot see behind racks, more watts will not invent geometry. Add or aim coverage where the null lives—do not rename the SSID and hope.

Answer

Rename the SSID so clients somehow fill the null.

Answer

Disable validation metrics and accept the predictive map instead.

Answer

Widen every channel to 160 MHz to compensate for missing coverage.
