It has been a couple weeks since I returned from WLPC in Phoenix. It was a great trip down to the southwest which included catching up with some good friends, listening to great presentations, learning a lot, and also presenting on a topic near and dear to my heart. I was able to put a … Continue reading #WLPC 2017 PHX, #SingleChannelAdventures, and Looking Back

Frozen Fi – The Big TX Freeze
We all find bugs in software from time to time and most of the time they are fixed in relatively short order.....maybe.... It is always an unsettling feeling when those bugs resurface in later versions of code after being "fixed." We recently received reports from a school that the wifi was "not working." Early on … Continue reading Frozen Fi – The Big TX Freeze
Single Channel Architecture and Virtual Cell and its Effect on Co-Channel Contention
Before you go ripping me, hear me out. I was recently called out to a high school who had put in a trouble incident indicating that they were experiencing slow wireless performance and client disconnections in a particular area of the building. When I arrived I found that there was a high concentration of clients … Continue reading Single Channel Architecture and Virtual Cell and its Effect on Co-Channel Contention
Reflecting on @CiscoLive 2016 #CLUS
As you may have already read, I broke my promise to write a post every night while at Cisco Live. Some of you may have laughed when you saw that I intended to write every night. I guess we will chalk that up to a first timer mistake. My original plan was to blog … Continue reading Reflecting on @CiscoLive 2016 #CLUS
Leaving on a Jet Plane…East Bound and Down (to Virginia) from @CiscoLive
Ok...I know I promised blog posts every night. That was a first time attendee mistake. Live and learn. This will be the precursor to a longer more detailed blog post about an amazing week at Cisco Live. No blog post will ever do justice to the incredible time that I had. I met so many … Continue reading Leaving on a Jet Plane…East Bound and Down (to Virginia) from @CiscoLive
Leaving on a Jet Plane…to @CiscoLive
Well, I'm in the air on my way to Cisco Live right now. First thing I had to do was check out that in flight Fi. We will call it "usable" but it should be noted that the signal is great! I am looking forward to meeting a lot of you who I've only talked … Continue reading Leaving on a Jet Plane…to @CiscoLive
Looking Forward: Cisco Live 2016
It is just over a month until I leave for Las Vegas to attend my first Cisco Live. I am really excited to be able to attend this year. When I began my Cisco journey about 10 years ago I had no idea that I would be afforded the opportunity to attend Cisco Live so … Continue reading Looking Forward: Cisco Live 2016
Distributed Network Monitoring with NetBeez
The following post was inspired by my dude Lee Badman (aka @wirednot, aka Beef Wellington). He is a very talented writer and WLAN professional among other things. If you don't currently follow him on Twitter or read his work, I highly recommend following him and checking out his blog. His contribution to the wireless community … Continue reading Distributed Network Monitoring with NetBeez
MetaGeek Chanalyzer Plus Cisco CleanAir
What I am about to write about is nothing new. Some of my wifi peers have written about Chanalyzer and Cisco CleanAir or various aspects of each or both before. I am going to take you through my journey to get a lightweight Cisco 3502i converted back to autonomous code and connected to MetaGeek's Chanalyzer. … Continue reading MetaGeek Chanalyzer Plus Cisco CleanAir
