Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Yosemite update coming...

While many of 10.10.2 do focus on WiFi, they do not fix issues we are seeing. We have been told that roaming type issues we have where users bounce between bands on both individual APs as well as between multiple APs will not be looked at until 10.10.3 most likely.

Charging devices have changed a lot over the past 15 years or so, but 110V outlets have not. Which one would you choose for longevity? I would choose 110V every day. On Tue, Jan 27, 2015 at 12:47 PM, Odtohan, Cathi codto...@erikson.edu wrote: At one point we considered something like

Brian, I have one of those on my desk and it is quite handy. I pushed for USB power availability in a new student center, but ultimately they just did standard receptacles at semi-convenient locations. I agree that USB standards (and amperage) change too much. Michael

Yep, very true. DNS and IP are open, unless someone is using a VPN. In some cases I believe Windows file sharing is also unencrypted which can certainly help make the case for encrypting the admins side in some cases. In addition, none of this encryption applies to internal wired networks,

I don't have direct links, but our newer buildings have furniture with built in outlets. Two examples are a chair with outlets mounted to the bottom, so that you can plug them in on the side of the chair, and a table with a flip-top junction box on top of it. -- Hunter Fuller Network Engineer
