TEW-826DAP RSSI Scanner Wireless (2.4GHz, 5GHz1, or 5GHz2) > Wireless RSSI Scanner Note: Please note that wireless bandwidth control is only available when using AP mode. 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 its 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. © Copyright 2018 TRENDnet.
