Having too much WiFi noise was a huge problem with the D-Link radios, which by IEEE standards were configured poorly to handle less than ideal situations. Basically having 6 of those on a field with either too much interference or high bandwidth utilization guaranteed lost communication. Sarcasm aside, this was the cause of many communications issues in the past.

The OM5P-AN radios do a much better job at managing these situations and will properly self-adjust to less than ideal situations, making venue WiFi a viable option going forward.
