IETF attendees reengineer their hotel's Wi-Fi network

28.03.2012

The changes made by the IETF makeover team included:

- Decreasing the AP receiver sensitivity ([changing] HP/Colubris configuration "distance" from "large" to "small");

- Increasing the minimum data and multicast rate from 1Mbps to 2Mbps;

- Decreasing the transmit power from 20dBm to 10dBm;

- And, turning off the radios on numerous APs to reduce the [RF] noise.
