@Mac_WiFi I’m doing great, thriving, if you will. Thank you for taking a chance on me. Your name comes up at least once a month. Big shoes to fill to say the least. My feet are still growing- ha! Tell Santa I said hey, he likes you leave out beer and pizza!😎

@CWNP @Mac_WiFi Congratulations Andrew!

@JustDoWiFi @jsnyder81 Cardboard boxes full of keys used to sit on my desk... as I found them I took them.

[John Preves @JohnPreves]

@WIFI_NC Good luck mister!

[John Preves @JohnPreves]

@VascoFCosta @grcate @wirednot Almost found out the hard way what happens when you upgrade switches to support the number of AP's, PoE, future growth, etc... and almost forget to account for space, power and HVAC. I'm glad I found that out the easy way...

@JustDoWiFi resume generating event...

[John Preves @JohnPreves]

@JustDoWiFi I always out AP and the last bit of the mac address. This way, I know its an AP, I can find it in the controller, switch, etc... I can do a sh int status and see if the mac is the same as the description, in case anyone steals a port or swaps out an AP without telling me

@Mac_WiFi @JustDoWiFi @RandomHashNSalt @WIFI_NC I never thought I’d see the day, but with a tear in my eye, I can say I was there when Andrew McHale became comfortable with a 12 channel plan!🍕

@wirednot Hopeful- WPA3

@Mac_WiFi @wirednot Come to the Dark Side @Mac_WiFi ... we have cookies!

[John Preves @JohnPreves]

@VidurBatra @wirednot Yes, the WiFi... because those little lights aren’t enough for me to navigate a dark room without me hurting myself.

[John Preves @JohnPreves]

@wirednot I then explained that after 20 years of up close and personal exposure nothing had fallen of of me yet, but the parasitic twin I had growing off my shoulder cleared itself up!

[John Preves @JohnPreves]

@wirednot I had to talk a doctor off the ledge about an AP in her office. I tried to explain that this is non ionizing radiation (radio) and that I would be more concerned with the possible sunburn she could get from sitting in front of her office window. She really wasn’t buying it.

[John Preves @JohnPreves]

@wirednot Standardized roaming is like a date with Christie Brinkley... in my dreams. Honestly, I would be happy with clients that not only listed TX power settings but maybe had configurable settings... salt to taste. If I could noodle around in there, that would be sweet!

Everyone staring at their screens and all I want to do is look out the window...nice product placement @JetBlue🙂

[John Preves @JohnPreves]

@wirednot But I have done a lot of Bridgewave 60GHz paths around Worcester, MA. Always on the roof, and usually in the damn snow...
