Just now starting to poke at this- we have an open-auth network and an 802.1x network. In areas where we are more hot-spotty and a client can only see a single AP, we're getting a fair number of reports that the 802.1x network is weaker in signal out of the same LWAPP Cisco AP than the open WLAN SSID is. My first thought is that it's likely in the way that RSSI/"bars" are displayed on individual clients, but we're also hearing that the 802.1x network in these spots was too weak to use, but when jumping over to the open network, the connection was usable. Has anyone else had to deal with this perception? Mostly this seems to be a Mac issue, but not exclusively. Again- haven't done much real testing, but are hearing it enough where I wonder if others have seen similar. Lee H.
