1. Give up on 2.4 – this is especially true if you’re density isn’t great and it’s forcing users to bring-their-own hotspots to cover gaps. 2. Even as devices like printers, and hotspots transition to 5 Ghz, the propagation is so poor that I don’t see them as a problem in the

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Cisco WLC 8.0.120.0 (MR2) on 8510- good, bad?

I’m running 8.2MR1 to support new 3800 WAPs and it’s been 100% stable. The dynamic bandwidth selection (DBS) is very cool (originally added in 8.1). Even in my densest deployments, a good majority of my AP’s are able to run in 80Mhz-wide. There is an engineering build 8.2.110.7 – this is

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Outsourced ResNet

There are few problems I see with this line of thinking. a) This is the same argument people made when 802.11n arrived i.e. Stick with 802.11g as it’s less expensive, proven, and there are hardly any 11n clients. For those of us who jumped on the cutting edge, we road an explosive wave

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Non penetrating roof mounted WiFi antenna

I would consult with your facilities, and more specifically a qualified engineer that can do the load calculations, grounding requirements, check local code, then sign-off on the install. In today litigious environment, and depending on local code, it may be unwise to have unsecured ballast

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Wireless Mobility

On limiting the 8510 to 3000 WAPs, and then adding another 8510 pair. Since the 8500 series are subject to Cisco’s new and improved RTU licensing, instead of adding another pair of 8510’s, purchase a pair of 8540’s and move the 8510’s 3000 AP licenses to the new 8540 along with the additional

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Turning off 2.4 on a select SSID?

In the Cisco 3800 dual-radio design, while the fixed 5Ghz radio is omni in azimuth, the XOR radio when running in 5Ghz is directional – this is one of the mitigation techniques mentioned in the 7signal video. The directional (micro cell) is supporting the high-bandwidth multi-spatial 11ac

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Third Party 10Gbs optics with Aruba Controllers

Be it Aruba or Cisco, probably the biggest challenge when purchasing optics (OEM or third-party) is making sure they are real and not knock-offs. This is especially true If you delve at all into the used market, where even if the remarketer is well known, they can’t tell the difference between

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] In room WIFI - second example

On the cost of devices. Some enterprise vendor solutions may be nothing more than the same off-the-shelf design that the consumer models use, including using the same radio code. When there are radio code issues, the vendor goes back to Broadcom, Marvell, or Qualcomm for a fix. Other

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] 2.4GHz - educating end users about interference

You are fighting a battle that will never be won, and even a stale-mate is unlikely. IMHO, your best bet is to work toward abandoning 2.4. In the early days, we did try outreach and education, but there are just too many devices today that use 2.4, and in many cases, users don’t even know it
