Description: Wi-Fi Muggles rejoice! Your time has come. The wonderful world of wireless and wizardry is magical indeed, but what’s a MacAdmin to do when things go awry? Many sources of non-802.11 noise impact your Wi-Fi. Finding these gremlins and either removing them or distracting them is vital. Although you may have identified and designed around these during your initial set up, new sources of interference may have crept their way into your airspace and could be disrupting your network. Left your magic wand at home? No worries, the Ekahau Sidekick will light our way. Learn FUNdamental insights into the mysteries of how to help Mac users in this marvelous medium. We will playfully use the pensieve of spectrum analysis to gaze into perplexing aspects of sending packets through the air, hopefully avoiding pitfalls along the way.
