We've had a couple students show up with Google Stadia controllers and Chromecasts wanting to play (stream) games. Needless to say, it wasn't working. We use a NAC and we have game consoles segregated onto their own vlan that does not use NAT, so we don't get NAT related complaints related to

I think this has the potential to get worse as these "game streaming" services continue to grow. Now not only do you have the outbound control data that needs to be low latency, but you have a big video stream coming back in. We have one student this year (so far, that we've noticed at least) th

I can confirm this point. We have Clearpass just for airgroup. The AppleTVs are manually registered in Clearpass by our staff, but that’s all that’s there (no user devices). We set it so that wireless clients can see only the AppleTVs that are connected to APs in the same AP group. We typica

One thing that Disney is fantastic at is hiding things in plain sight. I'd be willing to bet you saw them and didn't even realize it. I always look for access points everywhere I go just to see what they use and how they've deployed things. I, likewise, have never seen a single access point w

We use Palo Alto as well and 1:1 NAT was working fine for us, at first. However, we were using it in such a way that if the pool of addresses ran out, it would fallback to a PAT pool. We noticed that if a game console ended up in the PAT fallback it would fail to work. What we ended up doing

We have disabled the LEDs on all housing complex APs since day one. The only time it’s caused a problem is during move-in of new students. A parent calls the help desk claiming that the wireless isn’t working in their student’s room. We even had one parent just a couple weeks ago tell us that

We’re in the same boat. We use a wide variety of vendors for network equipment. For wireless we use Aruba. We very rarely ever use 1st party optics. Aruba has a list on their site that shows “approved” part numbers for optics. http://www.arubanetworks.com/support-services/interoperability/#

I'm honestly not surprised to hear that they are going to push wifi calling and nothing else. They want to drop all cellular service other than data, long term, in my opinion. I have AT&T myself, and ran the iOS 9 beta from the beginning, which got me early access to AT&T wifi calling. Needle

It’s been a while, but we had a similar issue with Cisco 2960S and Aruba APs (the regular version) a couple years. There was a bug in the Aruba code that caused the AP to request more power than the switch could deliver (>30 watts). The switch would bug out and not deliver enough power. I don
