Wi-Fi Requirements and Settings
Use this guide to configure a stable, clinic-friendly network for Stat tablets.
Minimum Internet Speeds
At least 30 Mbps download and 10 Mbps upload. Faster is better for a smoother experience.
Note: if your provider lists speeds in MB/s, that’s roughly 3.75 MB/s down and 1.25 MB/s up.
Setup Tips
- 
Wired backhaul: Whenever possible, connect APs by Ethernet (avoid mesh for core coverage). 
- 
Placement: Spread APs so tablets see a consistently strong signal (target ~–65 dBm). 
- 
Keep it simple: One SSID, WPA2 password, no advanced features or complex policies. 
Access Point Planning
For ~30 tablets:- 
2–3 Access Points (APs) total 
- 
Channels: Set each AP to a different non-overlapping 2.4 GHz channel: 1, 6, or 11 
- 
Client load: Plan for 15–20 tablets per AP (max) 
Tablet Settings
- 
Band: 2.4 GHz only (required by the tablets) 
- 
Security: WPA2-PSK (AES) 
- 
SSID: Use one SSID for all Stat tablets 
- 
Enhancements: Turn off network “optimization” features. Keep it simple; avoid things like band steering, client steering, or auto-optimization toggles. 
- 
Legacy rates: Leave legacy rates ON (do not disable slower data rates)
