Recently, our users have been having issues in connecting to our Meru
Wireless AP's on campus. These users were using the latest
Intel Pro wireless cards on their laptops. The fix that Meru support
suggested of disabling the power save mode on the cards does
not work 100% of the time. Upgrading the latest firmware/drivers
for the
wireless cards do not work 100% all the time as well.
Plus, certain Mac's are having same problems. With Mac's, we've
noticed
that an older firmware has no issues, where a laptop with
the latest is experiencing the disconnect problems.
We saw similar issues, but thought that the workaround provided by
Meru had been working. I just was told yesterday that no, a number of
people are still having problems. I don't have any good answers for
you, since we're just starting to ask some of these questions.
Basically a laptop can connect, it says it's connected with a good
signal,
but can't get online. If one can get online, the
connection is lost in about a minute or so.
There are two things that we've noticed when this had started.
1. The Meru software was upgraded to the latest version recently
2. The Meru switches are almost maxed on the # of AP's allowed per.
We had a handful of Fujitsu & Levono laptops internally within IT
that had
connectivity problems prior to the software upgrade on
the Meru controllers and an upgrade of the firmware/drivers
resolved the
problem.
We have open tickets with various vendors (Dell, Levono, HP, etc)
as well
and aren't getting anywhere with them.
Is anyone else experiencing similar problems with Meru wireless
AP's and
connectivity?
Thnx,
