Introduction

Wireless connection is susceptible to environment interference and it may cause the unstable connection. In this case, we need to do optimization to make Omada EAPs work in less interference and clearer channel or adjust transmission power and bandwidth to get better performance. RRM is a function which can intelligently optimize WLAN performance based on real-time interference detection. In this article, we will introduce how to configure RRM.

Requirements

• Omada SDN Controller v6.1 or above
• Omada EAP devices that support RRM

Configuration

After completing the configuration of the SSID, Go to Controller > Network Config > Network Settings > WLAN > WLAN Optimization >Auto WLAN Optimization > Select the mode as Adaptive, click Apply.

If you want to limit the bandwidth range, channel range and power range, you can go to Optimization Config.

Change the Mode to Custom, then in Advanced Settings, you can customize the power range and threshold, choose the channel width and exclude 5 GHz channels.

If there are some EAPs on which you don’t want enable the RRM, you can add them to the Excluded APs List, click the ‘Add’ button, select the excluded EAPs in the window, and then click the ‘Add’ button to apply.

Firmware Updates

To enable your Omada EAP to support RRM, you need to upgrade the firmware of Omada EAP to the version that supports RRM. For details, please refer to the release notes on the Omada website.

For updating your Omada EAP firmware, please refer to this link.

Optimization History

Click Optimization History on the top, you could see all optimization records here, you could see details of successful records and choose to delete all records.

Click Detail button on the right and you'll see what operations are taken to make your network work better.

Verification

Once you complete the configuration of RRM, an optimization will be executed immediately. Waiting for the optimization done, check the Optimization History and you will find a new record, then you have successfully configured RRM.

Conclusion

Configuring RRM, it will optimize WLAN performance based on real-time interference detection.
