SSID connection order on Mac Devices

2012-03-27 Thread Peter P Morrissey
We have run into problems where Apple devices (apparently more mobile devices than laptops) appear to gravitate towards SSID's that are on top alphabetically. It often confuses users who get set up for our preferred 802.1x network which should automatically connect and authenticate them. They

The solution is to have redundant hardware. If the service is that important, then you could argue that you would want to avoid any outage, even if it only affected 150 AP's. That is still a lot of users potentially affected. Pete M. From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv

Sweet! It seems like one challenge would be the devices would constantly be resetting every time the bus stops running if you are powered directly off the alternator? Has that caused any issues? On top of that it seems like you would be dealing with some environmental extremes that you

That can only help. I couldn't imagine trying to run a wireless network and allowing that many rogue devices. One thing we do is give out USB cables to incoming freshmen if we see they have a printer (which is almost always wireless nowadays). I found you could get 15' USB cables for close to

Dearth of 5GHz Laptops

Every year we purchase a handful of laptops to get a sense of how well the new laptops that freshman are coming in with will perform on our network. Ideally we like to test laptops with 5Ghz 11n, and since we've upgraded all our residences to 11n this summer, that is even more important. I have

Our view is that in order to provide a consistent, high quality, wireless experience that students pay for and depend upon, we have to limit interference. We prohibit interfering devices and enforce. We do make a concerted effort to get the word out to students on this even before they even

Has anyone who automatically authenticates with Safeconnect via 802.1x seen problems in 10.6.7 and possibly 10.6.5? What we are seeing is if someone connects to one of our non-802.1x SSID's, then switches back to the 802.1x SSID that has an existing profile with stored credentials, the Mac

Exactly right. Most user traffic is bursty in nature. Another way to look at this is your Internet connection. I'm guessing that if you use the simple mathematics on your Internet connection, the per user bandwidth will come out even worse. Pete Morrissey From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues
