asked on

wirless cochanneles and overlapping netowrks

Hi,

We have 3 AP's with controller.

All AP's are running on channel 6.

I have run the INSSIDER tool and it shows 33 cochannel and 3 overlapping Networks.

Is co channel means same channel using by same organization  and other organization
Access points?

1. Pls confirm , Is it ok if multiple AP's running on same channel? ,or is it effects to signal
density? , what will happen if 30 on-channel networks on a AP?


2. what is overlapping Networks?, how it impacts to Network performance?

3. When i see overlap Max signal , it is showing -65 dbm , is  the number ok  or is it a high interference?

4. what are the causes of overlapping networks ? how to prevent them?

Regards

what will happen if 30 on-channel networks on a AP?

Means

channel 6 is using by 30 access points (in organization and out organization accesspoints)]

Will it create channel collision for end users?

Thanks for the info..

I will give u a scenario :


Company A                                                  Company-B

AP-A        AP-B     AP-C                                         AP-X
   |                                                                              |
Client A                                                                 Client B

So,

1. AP-A running channel - 6 and AP- B , AP-X of company B running channel 6 and
    AP-C running channel 11 .

2. My Laptop(Client A) connected to AP-A

2.When i running Insidder tool  at Company-A , it is showing company B Accesspoint  AP-X , AP-B as co channel AP-C as  overlapping channel.

3. My laptop signal strength showing -50 to -60dbm. and observing latency if i ping to
internet or internal.

Is it default behaviour or can we prevent them either latency or improving signal strength.

See the attachement..

Is overlapping channels and co-channels are common in wireless networks or
Is there a way to eliminate ?
