The Monroe Canyon Fire in Utah is now 80% contained thanks to the incredible work of 1,500 firefighters battling the blaze near Richfield, Monroe, and Koosharem.

@joshschmelzle Default 102.4ms, or if you mean datarate it is 24Mb/s. the problem is that with underseat omnis there is severe CCI until the venue is filled, so the problem won't be quite so bad when attenuators arrive.

[Doug Hales @yanzzee]

initial testing of OWE transition mode is using up to 10% more airtime in LPV. Not sure at what point having 6GHz make up for it

Making warparking a thing - leaving a wardriving phone in my car to see how many WiFi enabled vehicles pass by

I got so tired of trying to bypass microsoft account requirement on windows installation every time, I finally broke down and created an email just to get through it.

[Doug Hales @yanzzee]

serendipity: writing an email, and shortly after finding that the content is incorrect, only later to realize it never got sent!

@theITrebel @WaltDisneyWorld @Ventev Good to know that even at Disney, AP-515s still have the barcode sticker and black finger marks on them.

Next problem to solve: what percentage of clients will be impacted by converting our open network to OWE?

[Doug Hales @yanzzee]

Aircheck G3 supports 802.11ax and 6GHz, but does NOT support UNII-4 channels.

[Doug Hales @yanzzee]

Some quick testing on UNII-4 channel support of clients suggests the following:
Only Android devices with 6GHz support them
Only Windows devices with 6GHz support them
No Apple devices support them

[Doug Hales @yanzzee]

@samuel_clements don't risk it. you will need at least one of those immediately after getting rid of it.

AI will pass the Turing test when it can accurately estimate time remaining on a windows file transfer.

I can't stop seeing @jimmyfallon on Spotify.

[Doug Hales @yanzzee]

Kindle devices released before 2021 don't support 5GHz, 6GHz, or WPA3.

[Doug Hales @yanzzee]

Mgig/SR still not needed for APs: I don't care if a single wireless client can use more than 1Gbps, they don't need it, and when there are many clients I'm betting the wireless contention is still the bottleneck. A wider road doesn't create more cars.

[Doug Hales @yanzzee]

I'm seeing many WiFi 6E models that are less capable in the 5GHz band than the equivalent WiFi 6 model. So it's not as simple as moving whenever we have the budget, the clients need to be there too.

[Doug Hales @yanzzee]

Seems like most wireless networks can be configured for WPA3/transition mode today to prepare for 6GHz, even if 6GHz hardware is a ways out.

[Doug Hales @yanzzee]

This 2nd generation iPod touch can't connect to a WPA3 Enterprise WiFi network.😁 Then again I don't think it can do dot1X at all.
Everything else we tested out of the archive worked so far!

[Doug Hales @yanzzee]

Classic! @Potato_Fi #hamina
