  • 1.  AP 303 RW setup questions

    Posted Feb 10, 2022 08:39 AM

    Hi everyone- I'm new here and was looking to see if someone could kindly provide some help or direction. 


    I recently purchased an Aruba AP 303 RW, and when I did a basic setup, I was only able to get about 20 ft of wifi coverage with it…

    Wondering what is the max distance coverage I should expect in an open room with it? I tried to search everywhere but could not find.

    Also, what are the recommended settings so that I could achieve max coverage?

    Any help on this is much appreciated!!

    How high do you have the access point mounted?  It has a downtilt antenna so the higher you mount it, pointing down, the further the horizontal coverage will go.

    Thank you! I will try and place it higher up and see how it goes. It was only about 4ft off the ground as I was just testing it. 


    Are there any specific settings I should setup for long range, or nothing to worry about on that side?

    You can change the ARM minimum transmit power to something high.
