Abstract :
Optimization of the distance and frequency of access points on wireless
networks is necessary to optimize the powerful transmit power of the signal that
the receiver receives from the transmitter. The placement of the access point
affects the signal strength parameters, because the signal strength value is used to
determine the coverage area of the access point placement. In this study, a
measurement of the strength of the signal received by the receiver from the
transmitter at the ITDA Laboratory was carried out using the inSSIDer
application which produces an RSSI value and a measurement of signal strength
by validating the data using a pre-made application that produces the time and
speed of obtaining data. The prolific data is used to determine the placement of
access points using descriptive statistical analysis methods on the mean function.
The results of the data test, obtained the most optimal distance located in the
Multimedia Laboratory with an indication of a streght signal of -34.6 dBM to -48
dBM at a susceptibility distance of 4-10 meters with a strong classification of
excellent verry signal.
