Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Ekahau Licensing & Alternatives

I don't blame them for not wanting multiple users on a single license. However, I do blame them for not warning us that we were apparently breaking the ToS and decided to kill our license without notice. This left me, on a weekend and in a pinch, unable to even open my surveys. How were we

I don't believe Wi-Fi is a good technology for this. It's nice when you can reuse existing overhead, but I don't think 2.4/5/6 radio is the answer. You're just begging for false positives. On Thu, Apr 1, 2021 at 2:47 PM Seth Bean wrote: > We ducked this by explaining our wireless design was

I believe the basis for his idea is that, because 802.11 clients are far more sensitive to other 802.11 clients as opposed to noise, it's better to have those extra channels, whose overlapping channels would sound like noise to clients not on that specific channel. I am not saying I agree with

We don't get complaints about APs in the rooms, but I have thought about starting a rumor that the real danger is ad-hoc/wifi direct printers. After all, they're blasting at 20dbm out of the box compared to my whisper-quiet APs. Parents that care would either take those things back to Best Buy or

For our campus, the difference between .11n and .11ac lags behind the speed at which density has increased. That is to say, it's pointless to say we had 30 clients working fine on .11n in this much space and now we're going to 30 clients on .11ac in the same area, because that's almost never the

It depends on the construction, but we typically have 1 AP to 2.5 rooms. The APs are placed inside the rooms, but they're not 1-to-1. On Fri, Nov 4, 2016 at 9:53 AM, Adam T Ferrero wrote: > We have an AP in nearly every suite. That is what made things work well > for us. > >

We used to... but we now don't spend much time trying to mitigate rogue APs on our network. Many wireless devices now come out of the box broadcasting their own SSID. Some Rokus even disallow the turning off of their SSIDs - the only way to get them to stop is to physically disconnect the radio.
