RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Game Console Wireless Connection Problems

Hi Our RESNET is 100% wifi, for the new intake of 2010 we launched a WPA/WPA2-PSK in halls specifically for gaming devices, access to this was essentially MAC auth, and restricted to the OUI vendor codes for the various devices. We haven't had any trouble with connecting PS3, XBOX, Wii, DS (not l

Jezz, Could you elaborate on how you manage the distribution of the PSK password for such a large population without revealing it to outsiders? -Do you confine it to just a few people? -Do you renew it every year? -How do you deal with University owned devices (projectors, scanners, etc...) that

Hi, I can, yes. The key so far has been changed every year, and is issued to a user (university student/staff member) when they successfully register a device that falls into the category of devices that the network is intended for. It is not published globally. It's not the ideal solution but it'

Access points with very low performance when multiple users connect their computers at the same time.

Hello, we have four adjacent classrooms (two in front of two and 5 meters between each one) with capacity to 80-100 students each one.Each classroom has its own Cisco Aironet 1240 AG Access Point. When all the students inside the classroom connect their computers to the wireless network, resp

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Access points with very low performance when multiple users connect their computers at the same time.

With almost any manufacturer you can set a max number of clients per radio. You could set the max per radio to 25ish and put (capacity of classroom/25) APs per classroom. On 11/10/2011 10:54 AM, Luis Fernando Valverde wrote: Hello, we have four adjacent classrooms (two in front of two and 5

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Access points with very low performance when multiple users connect their computers at the same time.

Your problem is probably air time density. The issue is that you only have 3 non-overlapping channels to work with in the 2.4Ghz space, most users won't have 5Ghz-capable laptops, each channel only supports about 25 clients from a practical standpoint, each access point is likely only listening on

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Access points with very low performance when multiple users connect their computers at the same time.

Additional features that are helpful are ones that help dual-band clients prefer the 5GHz spectrum (Cisco and Aruba have their own names for this), and turning off all the low data rates so that air time isn’t destroyed by a few smart phones or bad clients hanging onto 2 mbps rates. Depending o

Was Meru among those tested? I have never deployed them but I did evaluate them a few years ago. This scenario was one of the selling points of their single channel solution and I am interested in knowing how it performed if it was tested. Thanks, Aaron Smith Ursinus College From: The EDUCAU

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Access points with very low performance when multiple users connect their computers at the same time.

I agree with Joel, 80-100 users per AP is a bit much on an AP. What's the ratio of 2.4 GHz to 5 GHz? I'm not familiar with the 1240 (have a couple but none of them work), do they have any smartRF built in (can they "nudge" dual band clients to 5 GHz)? -- Heath Barnhart, CCNA Information System

We use Ruckus 7962s and have found meshing with a Zone Director to be a good solution; our problem also includes some oddly shaped dorm buildings and found meshing has improved response. Harry Rauch Sr. Network Analyst Eckerd College 4200 - 54th Ave S St. Petersburg, FL 33711 On 11/10/11 11:

"I just think user expectations of wireless are unrealistic and we in IT are probably not doing a good job of correcting that." It's not that we're doing a poor job "correcting" the opinion, it's that the industry is doing a GREAT job setting unrealistic expectations. When kids go home and get

Unrealistic or not we have the burden of advancing our technology to match the customer's (read student and parent) expectations. Much of the new wireless has been designed for the multimedia experience; without the industry and customers pushing us we would be satisfied with "it's always been good

What do you expect from Apple Zombie users/clients. If Apple says it true no matter if it's wrong they accept it as true. Nothing replaces copper except fiber. By the way that's the next hurdle "cheap fiber switches"! Anybody done a 2.4Ghz RF exposeure study in college dorms? I wo

Can you elaborate on the problem that you described as "response time behaves very slowly for several minutes, until the traffic network stabilizes and reaches a better performance." I agree that this is probably a saturated RF link, but I'm curious if the slow responses are during or after auth
