The normal printer location is directly under the AP. Approximately 5' from
the wireless card to the AP, so I certainly HOPE the signal would be strong
enough there. <g>
You know, the way I originally wanted to set up these 2 AP was identical.
What I mean is the same ESSID, passkey, etc. That way the printers could be
rolled almost anywhere in the office and still have a strong signal. I did
not read in the AP manual that I could do this. So the 2 AP have different
ESSID, etc. You're suggesting maybe the wireless card is trying every X
seconds to get a stronger signal from the other AP? I hadn't thought of
that as I had to use a Wireless Setup Wizard within "ZebraNet Bridge
Enterprise" to build a .zpl file which was then sent to the printer. The
ESSID and hex version of the passkey were contained in that file. I assumed
from that, that it wouldn't be testing the airwaves for other AP.
