The paper examines the peculiarities of obtaining and interpreting operational characteristics of modern IEEE 802.11ax wireless networks in high-density placement of active network components. A comparison of operational parameters obtained through modeling using the special software environment Ekahau AI Pro and experimental data obtained on real equipment is conducted. The study revealed a discrepancy between experimental and project data, allowing for a more precise representation of the behavioral differences between IEEE 802.11ax and IEEE 802.11ac networks in complex conditions, which can be useful in the design stages of wireless network structures
