Ruckus Zone Director 1100 with 3 AP zf7341 working on MESH - Performance issues observed

[sumanth_k_j]

We have setup Ruckus Zone Director 1100 with One AP zf7341 as root AP and other two AP zf7341 on MESH.

RuckusAP-Main- zf7341-Connected (Root AP)
RuckusAP-01 - zf7341 - Connected (eMesh AP, 2 hops)
RuckusAP-02 - zf7341 - Connected (Mesh AP, 1 hop)

Observation : Quality of connectivity is very good near Root AP ( @ Ground Floor)

The other two AP's are bit far from Root AP (@ First Floor and @ basement), clients near AP1 and AP2 get very low signal strength from Root AP and there is performance degradation in observed.

There is no provision to get the AP1 and AP2 getting connect through wired connectivity.

Question : Are there any product from RUCKUS to enhance the signal quality (repeater)or the only way to improve the signal strength is by connecting the AP1 and AP2 through wired connectivity.

Vendor Recommendation :
Add new outdoor ZF 2741 to make it as root AP and move the existing zf7341-(Root AP) near AP1 and AP2.
