We have a guest WPA2-PSK network, and sometimes on Macs I see the network is saved in System Preferences, but there's no keychain entry for the PSK. In this case I generally remove the network from the Wi-Fi preferences and re-add it manually. > On 28/01/14 22:52, Wright, Don wrote: > Taking a slight tangent here, has client roaming and dropout problems > motivated anyone to move to a WPA2-PSK model across their campus?

So I'd say WPA2-PSK isn't any better for Mac configuration at least, there's still problems (albeit different ones). WPA2-PSK (unless you use a dynamic PSK like Ruckus) also means all authenticated clients can decrypt everyone else's traffic which isn't great for security. -- James Andrewartha Network & Projects Engineer Christ Church Grammar School Claremont, Western Australia Ph.
