Problem 5:
The throughput seems slow.
Solution 5:
1. To achieve maximum throughput, verify that your antennas are well-placed, not
behind metal, and do not have too many obstacles between them. If you move
the client closer to the Access Point and throughput increases, you may want to
consider adding a second Access Point and implementing roaming.
2. Check the AP Controller’s filter settings to confirm that it is not forwarding
unnecessary Ethernet traffic to mobile clients.
Problem 6:
How do I upgrade the firmware on an Access Point?
Solution 6:
The Access Point receives new firmware images from the AP Controller. Refer to the
Harmony Access Point Controller Model 7560 User’s Guide for details.
