sorry - they are standalone, unfortunately for me.

Hello - we have 10 Aironet 1240AG WAPs in our plant that provide WIFI services for roaming computer guns, and lately, users have been complaining about their signal getting weak - application slows down considerably - and after a minute, it picks back up again (presumably when the WAP drops them and hands them off to the next. &nbsp;I walked around with a WIFI analyzer app on my phone, and I noticed there is a long duration (30-60 seconds) where the signal drops below -80dbms and after 30 seconds, it finally releases the client to the closer WAP. &nbsp; With Adtran Bluesockets, there is a Minimum Transmit Rate that can be configured so as to force the hand-off quicker. &nbsp;Is there something like this with these older Cisco APs? &nbsp;We will be replacing these soon, but in the meantime, I'm wondering if I can tune them better. &nbsp;Any help is appreciated.<br />

Thanks,<br />

Cisco Aironet 1240AG - trying to tune for smoother hand-off to the next AP

Wireless networking is anything related to the transfer of data between two (or more) devices without the use of a physical connection, ranging from getting advice on a new Bluetooth headset to configuring sophisticated enterprise level networks.

Wireless Networking

Wireless networking is a method by which homes, telecommunications networks and enterprise (business) installations avoid the costly process of introducing cables into a building, or as a connection between various equipment locations. Wireless telecommunications networks are generally implemented and administered using radio communication. This implementation takes place at the physical level (layer) of the OSI model network structure. The key hardware components of a wireless computer network include adapters, routers and access points, antennas and repeaters.

Wireless Hardware

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Networking

Network design and methodology, also known as network architecture, is the design of a communication network. It is a framework for the specification of a network's physical components and their functional organization and configuration, its operational principles and procedures, as well as data formats used in its operation. In telecommunication, the specification of a network architecture may also include a detailed description of products and services delivered via a communications network, as well as detailed rate and billing structures under which services are compensated.

Network Architecture

Cisco PIX is a dedicated hardware firewall appliance; the Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) is a firewall and anti-malware security appliance that provides unified threat management and protection the PIX does not. Other Cisco devices and systems include routers, switches, storage networking, wireless and the software and hardware for PIX Firewall Manager (PFM), PIX Device Manager (PDM) and Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM).
