WiFi Troubleshooting

WiFi

Just some jots/notes regarding WiFi Troubleshoot and questions to ask….

Is the client WiFi device turned on?

Is the client out of range? How high is the AP? Recommend no higher than 15 ft

Is the AP turned on and is responding to the pings or is listed in the list of registered AP’s?

Is the AP SSID broadcast or hidden? Do you know the passphrase/password?

How many client are already registered to the AP? Many recommend not to exceed 20 – 30.

Is the AP antenna Direction or Omnidirectional?

Is there a DB gain on the AP?

Force the AP to broadcast only one protocol i.e. a, g, d, n etc.

Force the AP to broadcast only one channel

Are there EMI (Electro Magnetic Induction) that may be causing interference?

Distance between AP.   Are the AP’s managed which may provide a better handoff between AP’s

 

Ensure the DHCP server is operational and reachable from the access point’s LAN, and that the IP address pool has not been exhausted.

Is your Market Share Elevated or Deflated?

 Is your Market Share Elevated or Deflated?

Today’s economy is built on “speed”.  How “fast” you are to the market. We work and collaborate in a time of disruption and change. Yet, we seem to never navigate away from our “strategy”, even when our market share can be gained or lost by the “next big” thing. While it may not be the best “idea”, market share can be torpedoed by a company that can launch their product faster than you. They can deliver on relevant content and tangible value faster than their competition.  And in this age of “shared information” paired with “relevant content and perceived value”, the companies that respond quickly can elevate their shareholder value. Companies that can’t respond, their shareholder value can quickly become deflated. Where are you on the speed continuum? Elevated or deflated?
