Step 1 - Identifying areas that need coverage and estimating the number of APs needed:
Wireless coverage only needs to be provided in areas where cardio machines need to have a wireless connection. If there are
spaces in the facility that don’t have cardio machines, there is no need to install access points in that area.
Once the areas that need coverage have been identified, calculate the minimum number of access points (APs) needed to support
your machines. One Meraki MR24 access point can support up to twenty (20) 7xi Machines. Calculate the number of 7xi Machines
will be installed, divide this number by 20, and the result is the minimum number of APs you will need to install to support the
equipment. This number is only a starting point; additional access points will be required depending on the physical distribution
of the clients and the RF challenges presented by the facility’s environment.
2. Perform a Site Survey to determine the Access Point Needs of the facility.
a. There are four basic steps to design a wireless network.
