Since taking the Wireless Adjuster Level II class back in January I have been eagerly waiting for the test to come out. On March 2nd, 2020 I received an email that this test is now available. It was late and I was too tired to take the test so I decided to take it the next day….

Reading through the CWAP material, training class from Devin Akin (CWNE #1) and multiple other resources I learned a great deal. The focus of CWNP certifications is to help understand the theory which then can…
Saw an awesome post from Troy Martin (Twitter handle – @troymart) on 5 GHz frequency conversion. Many times during my studies related to Wi-Fi I had to review the channel number and its frequency as it can be bit of a challenge to memorize them all. I normally would just remember the first one and…
