Not only that, but IIRC higher power means a thinner broadcast radius
as well--eventually becoming strictly line of sight.
I can see where a client computer could have problems if it's too
close to a high powered WAP, by being overwhelmed etc. But it would
have to be darned close. Never heard of lower performance etc. No
idea where you'all are getting that. cite?
I agree. We have Cisco Aironet 1131's about every 25 feet in our
building, closer in some of the big classrooms, to provide the kind of
capacity we're using.
