Dear Customers,
This is the technical support engineer from TP-LINK, we have are summarized some improvements requirements for EAP series as below based on the deployed wi-fi projects, please feel free to comment on those improvements based on your experience or your understanding of the wireless products, any opinions about the EAP series will be appreciated.
1) The "load balance function" on the Controller, supports two kinds of settings including "Max Associated Clients" and "RSSI Threshold". In a large wi-fi network deployed with EAPs, it is suggested that this function be configured uniformly on the Controller and then be pushed to the APs but not configured one AP by one AP.
Set Max Associated Clients to keep the load of the EAP to a fair level.
[*]Use RSSI Threshold to kick-off the client with low signal strength and force them to reconnect to a nearby EAP for better performance.
[*]You may refer to the attackment_1 for reference.
2) EAP series products should support adjusting the transmitting power intelligently based on the wireless interference. At present, for adjusting the transmitting power in the application scenario, we need to consider both the wireless coverage and wireless interference, so it (adjusting the proper transmitting power manually) may be difficult.
3) Under the Map Tab of Controller, the APs on the AP listed can be listed in order or can be searched by adding searching button. At the moment, all EAPs are listed disorderly on the right side, so it is inconvenient and laborious to find out the right EAP on the disorder AP list and drag them to the map floor, especially for the large wi-fi project with hundreds of APs. The attachment_2 is for your reference.
4) Controller can be running as a service. At the moment, the Controller software need to be installed on the Server PC, but the administrator will set some restarting schedule for the Server PC, then the administrator will need to start and login the Controller again, which is inconvenient and unfriendly.
