This leads me to ask - doesn't the Xbox and PS4 have wired ports? Why put all that refresh rate traffic on wireless? Why not "strongly suggest" they connect it to a wired port, leaving wireless for truly mobile devices (laptops, Macbook Air, phones, pads, etc.)? If it has a permanent power brick, plug it in.

We created an SSID that allows for mac address authentication. We allow student to register the mac address of their non 802.1x complaint devices and connect to our SSID that supports mac addresses (open network). We have no problems that I am aware of with PS4 stations. Note: We use Aruba with Clearpass.

Other devices such as Xbox One are working fine, it seems to be isolated to PS4 devices. We are beginning to wonder if this is an issue with Enterprise wireless AP's and I was curious, before we spend more time digging, if others are experiencing issues with PS4 on their campus.
