This session is all about YOU! We are bringing 7SIGNAL's panel of Wi-Fi experts to answer any and all questions you may have about Wi-Fi installs and design. Our panel: Jim Vajda, Chief Wireless Officer | CWNE #183 Christopher Couch, Sr. Sales Engineer | CWNA

For most of the history of enterprise Wi-Fi, data rates were a good indicator of link quality and over-the-air speed. But with the advent of 802.11ax, all of that has changed. It's time to look past the data rate to something that's actually even simpler once it's understood, MCS. Jim Vajda, Chief Wireless Officer at 7SIGNAL, will help you understand the new problems with data rates, what MCS is and how to use it, and why MCS should replace data rate in your Wi-Fi vocabulary going forward.

We are thrilled to welcome Keith Parsons back to the panelist table for our next episode. Keith, CWNE #3, is the founder of WLAN Pros and has earned over 60 networking certifications. He is considered one of the world's top authorities on all things Wi-Fi. Troubleshooting will always be a part of Wi-Fi. In this session, Keith will be walking through 5 tips you can give end users to make problem-solving a little easier.

This year's F1 Dutch Grand Prix saw over 300,000 people. The small track, which holds a capacity of 10K people, will expand to hold a capacity of over 70K. While guest Wi-Fi isn't offered at the event, how are all the press, vendors, and staff supposed to stay connected? You guessed it... a temporary Wi-Fi network infrastructure will be installed. For this week's session of the Wi-Fi Best Practices Webinar Series, we are thrilled to welcome Raymond Hendrix, CWNE #274. Raymond worked with the Wi-Fi team at the G1 Dutch GP to set up the temporary network that vendors, press, and staff will use during the massive event. So, how was it done? Register to find out!

This... is Dirty Jobs... Wi-Fi edition! We're excited to bring Scott McNeil, Industrial Network and Security Architect, to talk about some of the messiest Wi-Fi jobs he has worked. During the session, we'll be taking you to some of Scott's industrial site projects to analyze and assess Wi-Fi performance. Then, we'll discuss what fixes he implemented to keep on-site devices connected.

We are thrilled to welcome Keith Parsons back to the panelist table for his session on client roaming data. Keith, CWNE #3, is the founder of WLAN Pros and has earned over 60 networking certifications. He is considered one of the world's top authorities on all things Wi-Fi. During this episode, Keith will be walking us through a conversation about the 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz bands and their coverage. We'll also be unpacking why and how to design an upgrade to 6GHz.

If you’ve worked in Wi-Fi for any amount of time, you’ve no doubt heard the same best practices and must-do rules that have to be followed for successful wireless. But what happens when the real-world intervenes you have to break those rules? Hint: It may not be the end of the world. In this session we discuss these, and more: Rigid best practices that often have to be violated What REALLY happens to the WLAN when you break the rules How to think smarter about real-world wireless when you can’t be textbook-perfect

More than a decade ago, the alarm was sounded because hacking via public Wi-Fi was shown to be very easy and very effective, but things have changed a lot since then. Jim Vajda, CWNE #183 will make the case that, for most people today, fear of public Wi-Fi is unfounded, and the IT industry's narrow focus on Wi-Fi security misses the broader picture of end-to-end network security. Let's stop the FUD about public Wi-Fi!

In this podcast, we are welcoming back our resident antenna expert, Mike Graham! In this session, we are going to be reviewing our refreshed Antenna Selection and Positioning Guide!  What we'll discuss: Antennas 101 Selecting antenna types External antennas Antenna placement best practices Coverage versus capacity Site surveys and RF planning How to continuously monitor antenna performance

We are thrilled to welcome Keith Parsons back to the panelist table for his session on client roaming data. Keith, CWNE #3, is the founder of WLAN Pros and has earned over 60 networking certifications. He is considered one of the world's top authorities on all things Wi-Fi! During this episode, Keith will be walking us through an analysis of client roaming data from empirical evidence. What you can expect to learn: What we see from real client Wi-Fi connections What are the ratios between 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax clients in the real world Are there differences in MCS rates between different PHY types? What might be possible for your own Wi-Fi clients? Why we use MCS as a great metric to see clients self-report on their RF environment

In this episode, we are joined by special guest, Bryan Seely, a U.S. marine and world-famous hacker who successfully wire-tapped the U.S. Secret Service and FBI. This session is a continuation of Bryan’s last session, which was all about wireless security in 2022 and beyond.

Lee Badman is BACK! This time he's here to unpack Wi-Fi 6E. The 6 GHz band has been open for business since 2020, Wi-Fi 6E AP's are available from all the major enterprise vendors, and many clients are deployed in the wild as well. So, what should we be worried about? Lee Badman is here to talk it out.

In high user density Wi-Fi environments (stadium, arena, campus) a multitude of issues can arise to negatively impact the digital experience of your users. In this episode, we'll uncover the common problems that can arise and discuss proactive strategies to prevent them.

In this session of the Best Practices Podcast Series, Eric Camulli is back to talk at-home Wi-Fi! Are you considering upgrading your router? Especially for those of us who work from home, having a strong connection is critical. What we'll discuss: Capabilities and limitations What to consider before purchase Value: Is it worth the money? 

Application requirements are at the foundation of WLAN design, validation, and ongoing support. If you don’t know the specific technical requirements being put on your WLAN, how do you know if it is working well enough? Join us for this webinar, and we'll put you in the know.
