Try to simulate your AP location in Ekahau, see what it tells you. I use almost 40Mhz channels everywhere, and some 80Mhz which was based on the design. Yahya Jaber. Sr. Wireless Engineer IT Network & Communications – Engineering From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv

We ran into the SOS Assert crash too and the workaround was to disable Deep Packet Inspection. Since then we've been stable. From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv on behalf of Johnson, Christopher

Hello, Here recently, we have received numerous requests for guest WI-FI access during on campus conference events. In order to support these events, we normally create a special open conference SSID that requires a pre-shared key or passcode for authentication. What we struggling with is

Hi Dave, I personally would not enable 40+ MHz wide channels without already having the UNII-2 channels enabled as it will cut down on your available channels. Also, stay away from any doppler radar frequencies used in Poughkeepsie ;-) -Eric Kenny > On Sep 25, 2017, at 3:16 PM, David Blahut

I have been moving our less AP dense buildings to 40 Mhz channels. In the dorms, I stick with 20 Mhz, unless there is little to no CCI when I do my testing. I see RADAR events, but they are sparse. I definitely see an improvement with the 40 Mhz channels and keeping users connected and happy in

We currently won't even touch 40MHz as we like having the ability to solve problems by throwing more APs at them. On Mon, Sep 25, 2017 at 2:28 PM Chuck Enfield wrote: > 1. Enable it in places to check for radar events. If you get few, > then yes. Client devices are almost

1. Enable it in places to check for radar events. If you get few, then yes. Client devices are almost fully capable now. Hidden SSID’s are the only issue. Some clients don’t probe on DFS channels, and will only respond to beacons. Make sure 2.4 is usable for the small number of

Hi The answer is: it depends. Extended channels depend on the presence of TDWR radars in your environment (ex: if you are near an airport, there are lists of TDWR radars in the US). 40 Mhz channels depends on your clients: do you need more small cells in 20Mhz or can afford less available

Two RF Questions

Greetings, I have two hopefully simple RF related questions: 1. Should I enable the extended UNII-2 channels campus wide? 2. Should I enable 40Mhz channel width campus wide? In other words what are you doing on your campus and what is the "best practice? Our wireless infrastructure: 3 Cisco

We’re also on 6.5.3.1 and have ran into the “Reboot Cause: Datapath timeout (SOS Assert) (Intent:cause:register 54:86:50:2) “ message with an open TAC case. Something else I’d be curious about – for those of your running 6.5.3.1 – could you verify via packet-capture that your configured data
