ipods connection problem

udi

I have a question about communication between AMX device NI-3100 iPad and ipods.
I have a house with 3 iPad and 10 ipod devices. The apartment area is 600 square feet. I have a 2 axis point of netgeer in the house.
In my project I have a light device and entertainments devices.
Although there is no problem with the wireless network (High reception) in some cases the ipod devices disconnected and stop working,
Sometimes if I am closing the software and open it again they Returns to work but sometimes even if I am doing restart to the devices they don’t work. Only after a few hours I close the program and do restart they go back to work.
I don’t know what the problem is? Is there a strain on the device? Do I need another AMX device in this house? Is this problem in my code?

2 WAPs in 600 sq. Feet seems a bit much. I do entire 2000 sq ft. Houses with 1 WAP. Bear in mind a strong signal does not necessarily mean a good one.

For example, if your WAPs are on the same channel or close channels they are going to stomp all over each other. What channels are the two WAPs on?

I agree that having 2 WAPs seems excessive. I've seen first hand that too strong a signal can negatively affect an iPad (this was around last Christmas). I had to dial the WAP down (we use Pakedge WAPs, which allow signal strength tuning) because the iPad was dropping the connection. Knocking the signal down took care of it.

definitely sounds like adjacent channel interference, golden rule is only use channels 1,6 or 11 and site survey AP's from neighbors too to get an idea on placement and channel selection.
