Wireless Access Points Maintenance

Regular maintenance tasks to keep your wireless access points running efficiently.

Dust Outer Shell

Access points dissipate heat through their outer plastic shells. A thick layer of dust acts as insulation, which can cause internal thermal throttling.

Inspect Mounting Hardware

Ceiling-mounted APs can loosen due to building vibrations. Ensure the mounting brackets are secure so the unit does not fall and break.

Update AP Firmware

Access points require firmware updates to enhance radio performance and patch network security holes. Keep them updated to ensure stable handoffs between devices.
