WiFi Ghosts

I like a catchy title and I figured since Halloween is around the corner, why not? 😉

It drives me crazy when I see people randomly rebooting everything when things go wrong. When possible, I prefer to do a bit of homework to at least try and identify the device causing, or having the issue. Without this vital piece of information, you will never get to the bottom of chronic network issues.

I’ve seen technicians walk over to a rack or cabinet and literally pull the power to everything in it as a last ditch attempt to ‘resolve’ the issue. All I can say is “Yikes!!”

In this video I show you some odd WiFi behavior my client was experiencing. Before we rebooted anything, we took a moment to at least try and single out which device was having the issue.

Watch what happens and enjoy.
