CTS 355: Exposing the Real Wi-Fi Issue

Rowell recently deployed new Mist AP45 access points in a car manufacturing facility.



The IT team had successfully performed testing prior to the installation but we ran into multiple issues after mounting over 70 access points.



The Mist dashboard exposed a number of issues:




* DHCP Timed Out



* DHCP Inform Timed Out



* Association issues



* Missing VLANs




Additionally, users who joined to Wi-Fi stated they did not have Internet.



The issues led to a network audit which exposed the Wi-Fi issues.
