10 Huge Wi-Fi Antenna Mistakes That You Should Avoid

Antennas are undervalued and poorly understood elements in WLAN networks. Many times, antennas are the root of Wi-Fi performance problems. But if you understand RF, then there are common sense things we can follow and avoid. Let’s consider 10 common antenna mistakes and their impact on the end-user Wi-Fi experience.
Some topics we’ll cover:
Sources of antenna interference
Poor antenna placement examples
What not to do with antenna placement
Real use cases
And much more!

Teaching Help Desks How To Resolve Wi-Fi Issues

When users complain about poor Wi-Fi experiences to the internal helpdesk, too often the next step is to immediately escalate the issue to the Wi-Fi specialists of the organization. But in the spirit of “first call resolution” what if helpdesk specialists were empowered to quickly identify the root cause of a reported Wi-Fi issue? This would certainly be the least cost option providing the best customer experience.
Whether it be work-from-home or in the office, join us for this weekly webinar where we will explore the following topics…
A few Wi-Fi fundamentals
Identifying Wi-Fi root cause
Once you know, here’s what can you do
