Wireless Scanning Apps

I was wondering if anyone had any free wireless scanning apps for Android that they currently like? Just something free and simple you can use to check signal strength, SSIDs and BSSIDs around you when out in the field? I always end up with a different one each time I replace my phone and was

RE: Multi sim 4G routers

While I didn't end up using the multi-sim support, I've used these cellular routers for remote locations in the past. They're pretty good products, support dual SIM, battery backup or PoE, and external antennae. https://www.digi.com/products/networking/cellular-routers/enterprise/digi-6310-dx

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Macbook zoom wireless dropout issues

I was just following this thread along until a ticket dropped in my lap this morning with a large Zoom session that apparently was cratering all over the place. After reviewing the connection report from Zoom for the session in question, there’s a pretty strong correlation between clients conne

We installed several in the Oberon 1020-00 boxes. They look nice and are pretty roomy inside. David Hales Network Systems Administrator Information Technology Services Tennessee Tech University 1010 N. Peachtree Av., CLEM117 Cookeville, TN 38505 P: 931-372-3983 E: dha...@tntech.edu

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Who has transitioned away from Aruba, and why?

We've been an Aerohive shop for at least 10 years and have had a pretty good experience overall. For scale we have about 2,000 WAPS across campus and we use an on-premise HiveManager box for the management plane functionality. We had a similar issue several years back when they introduced the

RE: rules for mis-behaving wireless clients

Our wireless authentication system came with a default that would lock out clients that failed 10 authentication attempts in a row for an hour. It caused some pretty heavy helpdesk hate. If the lockout doesn't come with some way of notifying the user that they're locked out and how long the lo

RE: Theater wifi - to have or not to have

We installed wireless in our big auditorium on campus several years ago because it gets used for the occasional event where wireless is useful. We have recruiting and large scale campus visit events in there and sometimes have participants fill out online forms and applications during sessions

Wall plate APs and shared wall plates?

We're looking at retrofitting a dorm for per room WAPs using some wall plate installed APs. The issue we're looking at is that the current drop in each room has a network port and a cable TV port in a shared faceplate. Does anyone have a favorite workaround or product to get the F connector ou

RE: Wireless USB adapters

We've had a few cases where we've needed adapters for devices along these lines. My recommendation is to work with the manufacturer of the system you're trying to support. Depending on the hardware/firmware on the system, support for wireless adapters is likely limited to a small set of makes

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] gaming on wireless

Another good troubleshooting tool is to connect to the wired interface on the console with a Ethernet to wireless bridge to eliminate the wireless interface on the console without taking your wireless network out of the equation. With a longer patch cable you can also position the bridge to avo

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] EIGRP equal cost load balancing over wireless bridges

I can’t think of any interaction between EIGRP ECLB and the WLC that would cause this issue without some other additional factor. Are you running per destination or per packet load balancing? If it’s per destination, traffic back to a controller might be on one link that might be dropping. Is

RE: Offline/Spare Gear Inventory Size

We are an Aerohive shop. We keep a set of current models for deployment that serves as spare stock. With that said, based on the average turnaround time for RMA units, we’ve probably only had as many as 2 of a given model in use as a replacement for a failed unit at the same time once or twice

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Backup power

We size and install a UPS in every switch closet. We have only a few models of switch and access point, so we built a spreadsheet to calculate our power load based on actual power draw observed in our lab. We try to size our UPSes to provide a minimum of 15 minutes of uptime with 150% of their
