In this video, I travelled to Helsinki to perform real-world Wi-Fi testing with the new 𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐀𝐏𝟒𝟕𝐃 directional access points at the 𝐖𝐨𝐥𝐭 offices.

The goal: to compare omni-directional and directional antenna patterns in a high-density, carpeted open office — and to see how they affect roaming, MCS rates, and Wi-Fi 7 client performance.

🎥 I recorded a quick video with @JuniperNetworks about the AP Packet Capture options available in Mist!

It was actually the dynamic packet capture feature that first made me sit up and take notice of Mist as a wireless vendor years ago — and it's still one of the standout capabilities that sets them apart today.

From streamlined troubleshooting to smarter diagnostics, Mist continues to lead the way when it comes to AP packet capture innovation.

Check out the video to see it in action 👇

@Heisenburg26643 Thank you so much. The support means a lot.

I don’t normally use social media to share personal family matters, but today is an exception — and I hope you’ll take a moment to read this, as it’s incredibly important to me.

Today is PANS/PANDAS Awareness Day— a condition my daughter has been suffering from for the past three years. It’s a condition that has turned our family’s life upside down and has been stealing my daughter’s childhood.

While PANS/PANDAS is treatable, it is often misdiagnosed. In the UK, it’s still not officially recognised, which means accessing the right treatment is almost impossible.

My daughter, Anna (13), wanted to do something special for Awareness Day to help others understand what living with PANS/PANDAS feels like. She wrote a poem — entirely in her own words — that is honest, brave, and deeply moving. It breaks my heart, but I’m also incredibly proud of her strength and courage in sharing it.

Thank you for taking the time to read and help raise awareness. 💛

Look at this crew of wireless legends!

We snapped this shot during the CWNE group photo at #WLPCPrague, and it’s always a highlight to see so many certified pros in one place.

Thank you to everyone who stepped up for the photo and for the work you do every day to push wireless networking forward.

The CWNP community is stronger than ever!

Peter @MackenzieWiFi shares protocol knowledge identifying issues with control frames being sent at HT PPDU rates and admission control mismatches and dynamic rate shifting at #WLPC Prague.

@jerdopier Thank you Jerdo, much appreciated it.

[Peter Mackenzie @MackenzieWiFi]

@TopBusinessWifi @jolla Thank you Neil. It is still not very well know, it took a year of our daughter being unwell and my wife's amazing persistence researching what could be wrong before we came across PANS/PANDAS, but once we did it was a light bulb moment.

@firebug70 Thank you Susannah
