Wifi Signal warehouse

Hi,

I have put a ubiquiti pro ac in our warehouse (liquid products) but there are some dead spot at the corner of the warehouse. Warehouse staff they use laptops and tablets in these areas lose their signals or get 1 bar.

I am planning either to move the main wifi in the warehouse to be more central or add another one but I do not see there is any power points in the centre or at the corner.

This might be an eletrician job. However, do you have any other suggestions apart from getting the data outlet and power?

Hi,

The best option would be to use a PoE switch and deploy both power and ethernet to the Unify AP that way. You wouldn't have to worry about power point ;)
Second and possibly cheaper option is to use a PoE injector near the current network switch to run the PoE to the second Unify AP from there.

Thanks
I'd recommend doing a wireless survey. You're more likely going to need to run new cables. Swapping out an AP for one of the LR units may be another option. However, that might not work too well for mobile devices.

Using a POE switch would save the need for worrying about electrical outlets.
