I have been an Ekahau user for years. I have been transitioning to the Hamina design tool over the past year. It gets better all the time. I will be testing the Hamina Onsite tool in production for the first time this week. I suspect there is a lot of room for further development of the Onsite tool. ...

Hi Cameron, I suggest that you look at Hamina. They have a design and survey tool, and they provide great product support. I think of the Net Ally as a nice to have troubleshooting tool and not as mandatory like Ekahau or Hamina. Dawn R. Douglass Senior Wireless Network Engineer University ...

On Sunday afternoon, we became aware that the residence halls were generating a higher than normal level of wireless complaints. Upon initial investigation all APs were up and authentication, DHCP etc all looked fine. However, as we dug deeper into the problem, we saw APs set to air monitor mode, even ...

Found In Egroup: Wireless Local Area Networking \ view thread
Hi all, I am wondering if others are seeing this behavior. Aruba thinks that this behavior is the result of a bug. I believe that is the case too. We are seeing this behavior in our largest cluster (8 nodes and 5500 APs). It looks like even just a couple of missed heartbeats hoses the cluster, at ...

We are finding more and more devices that don't work well with the captive portal. That is the primary driver for us to stop using one. Are others seeing that as well?

I am more than ready to get rid of the terms and conditions captive portal page for our guest network. Removal of the terms and conditions page is under evaluation by our internal legal team. I'd like to get a sense of how many institutions have removed the captive portal and if you have not, why? ...

I am compiling options to make outdoor APs blend into the background. This is especially important for our historic buildings. We will mainly be using Aruba 565s and 567s for now.
