HP m200 AP in WDS deployment
i have 4 HP M200 AP in WDS deployment as the below scenario
WAN--------AP1-----------AP2------------------AP3----------------AP4
Basement Floor-------Ground Floor ----------1st Floor----------2nd Floor
these APs are very bad n not reliable , after less than one day the network performance become very very very bad
i can't believe that HP made those Faulty APs
All APs works on the same channel 11 and all WDS status are green and suppose that they up and running
but actually these APs are ....... i can't find a word to describe this mess
i think these APs are faulty and have a problem in hardware n software

Re: HP m200 AP in WDS deployment
Hi,
I think this is not the right place to complain about a product.
Maybe you should contact HP directly. The AP has life time warranty in most countries.
When I understand it correctly you are trying to establish WDS between AP located on different floors. That is the AP in the basement doesnt have wired connection to the AP in the ground floor, but only a WDS. Is this correct?
I found the following in the manual
Physical characteristics of the location
To maximize coverage of a wireless cell, the V-M200s are best installed in an open area with
as few obstructions as possible. Try to choose a location that is central to the area being
served.
Radio waves cannot penetrate metal; they are reflected instead. The V-M200 can transmit
through wood or plaster walls and closed windows. However, the steel reinforcing found in
concrete walls and floors may block transmissions or reduce signal quality by creating
reflections. This can make it difficult or impossible for a single V-M200 to serve users on
different floors in a concrete building. Such installations require a separate V-M200 on each
floor.
The same applies to the WDS connection to another AP as it uses radio waves as well.
So I think that a WDS between APs located on differen floors, separated by concrete walls with steel reinforcement is not a good idea.
If this is really the case with your location, you should consider wired connection between the APs.
Other recommendations I found in the manual:
It is recommended that 802.11n or 802.11a in the 5 GHz band be used for WDS links whenever
possible. This optimizes throughput and reduces the potential for interference.
You mention channel 11 and this is the 2,4GHz band.
If you really suspect HW issues you should contact your local support!
