In larger wireless networks, keeping every access point optimised can be a full-time job. Channel interference, uneven coverage, and signal overlap can quickly affect performance, especially as more devices connect. That’s where Grandstream’s GDMS (Grandstream Device Management System) helps, offering an intelligent way to manage access points at scale.

One feature that often raises questions is “Dynamically assigned by RMM” under Global Wi-Fi Settings. Here’s what it means, how it works, and why we recommend enabling it in environments with multiple access points.

What does “Dynamically assigned by RMM” mean?

When you configure Wi-Fi settings in GDMS, you’ll see options for Output Power and Channel. If these are marked as “Dynamically assigned by RMM”, it means the Remote Management Module (RMM) inside GDMS is automatically managing these values for you.

In other words, the system monitors and adjusts your access points in real time to maintain stable wireless performance.

• Output power: The transmit power of each access point is automatically adjusted based on nearby APs and client distribution. This helps to limit interference and ensure consistent coverage without oversaturation.
• Channel: GDMS scans the surrounding environment and assigns the least congested channel. If interference appears later, RMM can reassign channels automatically to keep the connection steady.

Why dynamic assignment matters in large-scale deployments

In smaller networks with only one or two access points, manually assigning power and channels is manageable. But as your network grows, manual control becomes inefficient and error-prone.

Here’s why keeping these settings dynamically assigned makes sense in larger applications:

1. Automatic interference management: RMM analyses radio frequencies across all access points to reduce co-channel interference and improve overall performance.
2. Consistent coverage without overlap: When APs are too close or too powerful, they can overlap and cause unstable roaming. Dynamic power control balances coverage across the network.
3. Less maintenance: Administrators no longer need to adjust settings manually when adding or moving access points. GDMS automatically recalculates power and channels as the network changes.
4. A better experience for users: For end users, this means faster and more reliable Wi-Fi with fewer dropouts, even when moving between access points. The optimisation happens quietly in the background.

What this means for users

From a user’s point of view, the advantages are straightforward:

• Fewer disconnections when roaming between APs.
• Faster reconnection and smoother performance.
• Stable Wi-Fi in high-density areas.

While users might not know that RMM is managing their network, they will notice the improvement in connection quality.

Grandstream’s “Dynamically assigned by RMM” setting is a practical feature that keeps large Wi-Fi networks running efficiently. By allowing GDMS to manage power and channels automatically, businesses can maintain consistent coverage, reduce interference, and give users the reliable wireless experience they expect.
