Wireless Network Performance Survey Results

Posted Date: 8/21/25 (9:30 AM)

Dear Students, Staff, and Parents,


FLCS recently partnered with Integrity Network Solutions to survey wireless network performance across all schools.


Key Findings:

  • Signal strength, coverage, and data speeds were consistently good to very good.

  • The primary concern identified was high channel interference caused by hotspots, wireless printers, and other rogue devices.

Steps Already Taken / In Progress:

  • Disabled wireless on printers where possible.

  • Identifying and addressing rogue/unknown access points.

  • Phasing out 2.4GHz usage where unnecessary (bus garage, tech office, and athletics remain exceptions).

  • Renaming and splitting athletics SSIDs for clearer management.

  • Configured APs for 20MHz channels, auto channel/power, and nightly spectrum optimization.

  • Upgraded equipment to Unifi AP 6 Pro and added HD, XG, and BaseStation XG units in high-density areas.

These improvements will significantly reduce interference and provide a faster, more reliable wireless experience for students and staff. Thank you for your patience and support during this important upgrade process.
