Hello All,
We are a Cisco CAPWAP shop and recently switched from non-encrypted web portal authenticated wireless to WPA2/802.1X/AES encrypted wireless with RADIUS and LDAP in the back end. I have received several help desk tickets with reports along the lines that "now that we are using the encrypted wireless the signal is weaker or unusable". Anyone else experience this phenomenon? I can't believe it's the wireless network, same radios after all. I could see the client interpreting the signal level differently or the client associating to a more distant access point because the closer one is more heavily taxed due to the encryption. I could even see that the encrypted wireless is more sensitive to RF interference. Anyway, any thoughts or ideas are welcomed. Thanks, David ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.
