The CPE firmware uses the Link Quality in conjunction with the AP Density configuration to initiate a scan for an AP offering better communications quality. If the AP Density is set to “High”, this causes the CPE to scan for an AP that will support 11 Mbps whenever the CPE decides that the current associated AP can no longer support this rate. This assumes that in a system with many AP’s, one or more AP’s should be in range to support this rate. If the AP Density is set to “Medium”, this causes the CPE to scan whenever it decides that the current AP can no longer support rates between 2 and 5.5 Mbps. If the AP Density is set to “Low”, this causes the CPE to scan whenever it decides that the current AP can no longer support rates between 1 and 2 Mbps.
