Hi folks. We are having an Internet provision crisis. We have two schools a) one with a Xirrus WLAN with fibre optics up to 10 meg for about 70 users (very fast!), and b) a Ruckus WLAN with up to 3 meg with about 200 users (very slow!). A couple of questions if I may.... 1- The company that provided both solutions offered 'wireless controllers' of which i have no experience. How will they improve the existing networks? Is it speed or security? 2- Will installing web servers be worth it? Will caching content reduce the demand on the ADSL connections? What I also want to understand better is how much of a difference it will make if we handle the ADSL connections better....the controllers/load balancing/web servers, etc. I have a boss who during the past year didn't want to spend any money on a complete solution, now is blaming the technician (and me) for things going wrong : (

Good Morning All, So I'm having an issue with my network. I have full bars for many students, but they can't get anywhere online. They constantly get the "This webpage is not available" or "You are not connected to a network". I think that there is an issue with the AT&T and TWC hot spots that are flooding our devices on all 2.4 and many 5.0 channels. I try to block them in intrusion detection, but it seems to make the issue worse. When I look at the device I see that I have users on, but they are only on for a few minutes. There are always 1 or 2 users that are on for 40+ minutes, but the majority seem to on for 1-4 minutes. Also I notice that when I go to see who is online, I'll have a few associated and about 400+ unassociated. Could this be cause my device to be maxed out, even though they aren't officially associated. I figure that there has to be some association because there is a transfer of packets, even though they are minute, which is telling the IAP's that they have reached their max amount. Does this sound possible? Please let me know if you have any advice or info because I'm beating my head against the wall. Thanks Cfinch
