That's been my experience for years. The network works great when there are no
students around. My working theory is that students emit RF interference, but
research ethics won’t let me run the tests, so we'll never know for sure.

Speaking from experience, I would be very concerned. We had no issues until
students returned and we went downhill from there.

Has anyone seen any details regarding what they consider "Large"
environments? We upgraded during the break, but both before and after versions
are affected. We didn't notice this happening before, should we be concerned
now?
The "dropped" is 0 and the stm cpu usage is in single digits, but client
count is really low (they come back this weekend as well), could we be in the
clear?
(asked the SE team and opened a tac call, same questions to them)
thx

FWIW, Aruba just posted an advisory regarding this issue:
Aruba Support Advisory ARUBA-SA-20210901-PLVL04, "Wi-Fi Client Connectivity
Failures in Large Client Environments"
Good luck to those of you hit by this. My students start coming back this
weekend so I'll be watching this closely!
