Some smaller environments pay little attention to roaming; while some environments require near perfect roaming and can’t afford for wireless clients to drop a connection and then reconnect. Wireless engineers spend lots of time figuring out how to deploy a wireless network that will offer seamless roaming. And…
During my recent Wireless Adjuster II class I got introduced to Airtool Pi (new tool created by Adrian Granados). If you have been using Airtool or Airtool 2, you will certainly love this, cost is $14.99 and it is worth every penny. All you need is a WLANPi (Neo 2 is what I used; you…
This past week I attended the Wireless Adjust II class taught by Devin Akin. I recall attending the very first class back in 2020, that was a beta class, and we all had a great time attending that class. You can read more here. I knew that Devin had added lots of new content in…
