Hi there,
Is it possible to change the sensitivity threshold of the AC66U via telnet?
I want to install 5 AP with same ESSID and different channels which are connected to a gigabit switch which is connected to a server via 10Gb fiber.
The distance between the APs is roughly 10 meters.
The use case is several AC66Us in media bridge mode to upload 8 GB of data in 5 minutes with either robocopy on Windows or rsync on Ubuntu. These media bridges are in a line slowly moving so that they should roam to the adjacent AP. This does however not work, because the signal strength of all APs is good enough anywhere in this relatively small space. It is planned to use directional antennas, but I do not have them yet (good ideas for these antennas are also welcome
).
Because the AC66Us are connected via Ethernet to the client PCs in the cars, I cannot use "iwconfig sens" on Ubuntu or Roaming Sensitivity Level on Windows (is this an equivalent setting by the way?).
My idea was to change the sensitivity threshold on the AC66U as with the iwconfig sens command on Ubuntu. Is this possible?
Also interessting would be a list of telnet commands for the AC66U and the settings you can change.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
PS: I would welcome such functionality in the firmware. It should at least be possible with the PCE-AC66, which is released hopefully in the very near future.
