A phone can show full signal and still give poor performance. Signal only proves the device can hear the access point; it does not prove that the access point, switch, router and cabling can handle the actual user load.

- Access point placement
- Rack, switch and cable quality
- Guest network separation
- CCTV and office traffic separation
- Future users, IP phones and cloud apps
