Migration from on-premise environment to Meraki dashboard The new Cisco CW916X series of access points currently includes the CW9162, CW9164 and CW9166 models. It is revolutionary not only because it introduces Wi-Fi 6E technology in the segment of devices for business of various scales, but because CW9166 are equivalent to 9130AXI. It turns out that […]

The IEEE 802.11ax standard, widely known as Wi-Fi 6, has been with us since 2019. Not long after, first wireless devices have been launched by vendors on the global market. But as with every technology, time has to pass before businesses gain the option to choose from a rich portfolio of competitive devices that use […]

The 802.11ax brings important features, focusing on network capacity, latency and range. High data rates are still in the picture, but rather in the background. Introducing OFDMA and using MU-MIMO allows AP to schedule data for multiple users simultaneously. This way, latency can be greatly decreased. With the new colors of the channels, frequencies can be spatially reused.

When dealing with networks, both wired and wireless, we can’t fail to mention the security issue. In the case of wireless networks, many users are unaware of the hazards lurking when switching between networks and using unprotected, unverified wireless networks. This article will answer your questions on securing the Wi-Fi network and making it resistant […]

In today’s post, we’ll cover the planning, design, and building of professional, Enterprise-grade wireless networks, i.e. advanced wireless networks. We’ll touch on the selection of equipment and components used in these professional networks. We’ll also review Wi-Fi access network protections in tandem with a component called Cisco ISE, which plays a role of a hub for […]

Online data privacy and security is a particularly important topic when most of us work remotely. There are plenty of traces that we leave behind on the Internet, and we encounter cybercrime on a daily basis. We should, therefore, consider how we can protect ourselves against the loss of both personal data and key company information. The ICT audit is a certain component of the entire security policy. It is most often carried out in order to prevent threats that may occur in the future.  

What is Wi-Fi 6 (IEEE802.11ax)? How does it compare to Wi-Fi 5 (IEEE802.11ac)? Will older phones connect to Wi-Fi 6? The post combines the most frequently asked questions about Wi-Fi 6.

Recently, we’ve been doing numerous site surveys and verification of Wi-Fi deployments in offices with more than 50APs per office in a managed setup (meaning that the APs are under the supervision of a wireless controller). In this post, I’d like to sketch an overview of the encountered issues and improvement suggestions.

The AP schedules the transmission according to the actual needs, and nobody wastes time on waiting and on collision. So, we end-up having the system that: is more robust towards low latency services; is more spectrally efficient; allows for actually use some QoS profiles; and coordinates the use of spectrum.

Wi-Fi Generations affect not only new releases, but also refer to the past amendments. Currently Wi-Fi Alliance has defined 6 generations. Each step is significant improvement in network performance and security. No more minor version changes that can cause only confusion.
