@wrcombs You hold liability to undo any changes made if things are broken worse.. You don't own the network nuts to soup...
Your manager is an idiot.

And I get that - which is why you document everything you change, what the setting was before (or take a backup before making changes..) and then revert back if need be... We suggest ideas (like this one) and get shot down because he thinks this will fix it

Update:
I finally was told what was going on :
They are on site messing with the network - but only the physical attributes (layer one) - they're removing 2 APs from the switch to test. (because there are 4 on site, and 2 of them are 6.5 feet away from each other... Why? I have no idea) -

Or something else that would cause massive signal loss?

Perfect, more APs means more power and more devices that can be supported. Has anyone checked to make sure the APs are set to full power, non auto-tuning?

I dont understand that, can you explain

@wrcombs He's facepalming the fact that someone, thought adding APs (regardless of settings) would fix the issue.
In particular the fact that these are so close together.

Okay, thankfully I figured that was the case.

I couldn't tell if it was directed at me for saying "nope.." or if it was directed at the APs (which is exactly what I did when I looked at the APs.. by the way)

This is sarcasm, but it's not super obvious ^^^

Not obvious to you. It should be plainly obvious to everyone else.

It was directed at the APs, specifically after you answered that there are no obstructions between the two.

Boss man came back and asked me about this:
What Channel would you use having 4 APs, and would you stagger the channels?Also, the guy set up a mesh system - there are 2 Aps plugged into the Switch, and 2 plugged into Power Converters working as Mesh points..

2.4GHz you only ever use channels 1, 6 and 11 (in the US). The two farthest apart should the the two using the same channel. Ideally there would be no place where you can see both of those APs on the same channel, rarely does that actually happen unless you get very granular with the power output settings.
5GHz networks have enough channels available that it doesn't become an issue. Just make sure there is no overlap when you look at it with an app like Wifi Analyzer.

they have 4 Aps on Channel 11 for 2.4, and Channel 157 for 5 (all overlapping)
