WiFi coverage challenges in complex environments
WiFi is a powerful wireless solution, but its performance can be affected in complex environments. Obstacles like building materials, high ceilings, shelving, user density, and interference from other electronics can disrupt signal strength and coverage. These factors may cause dead zones or reduced service quality, impacting the user experience.
