asked on Wireless Signal issue
Hey Everyone,
have the following two questions:
1) Just wondering if you know if having an ethernet power cable near a power line will cause some interfaces and/or wireless signal degradation? See image 1.
2) Would the glass wall cause some issue - see image 2 attached
? It doesn't not a normal glass but seems a bit thick. . When closing the door, wireless signal drops even more. Someone mentions Low-E covering but not sure how to tell.
Let me know your thoughts?
Thanks!

What you need to remember is that it doesn't just need a power increase one-way. If the AP power increases, the client still needs to be able to talk back to the AP with a similar signal strength. Think of this as someone talking on a PA system and someone in the crowd trying to shout back.
Basically, if you're having to increase AP power to reach the client, chances are your client won't be able to reach the AP. This will cause more issues than it solves.

Would increasing the power on the Access Point (through the configuration screen) help at all for devices further away, especially if a laptop is running on 2.4Ghz band?
