Recently, I completed my CWSP. With that test in the bag, my required four CWNP exams to satisfy the CWNE requirements were taken care of. I took a couple days to get back to a normal routine, but before long, I was working to prepare my application. For those of you who’ve done it, you … More A Peek At The New CWNE Application Process
There’s been a lot of talk over the past year or two about the future of WiFi and wireless. Especially of late, most of the focus is on two particular areas: 5G and WiFI 6, otherwise known as 802.11ax. That these two are getting a lot of headlines is not a shock. Those in support … More Oversimplifying WPA3 And The Dragonfly Handshake
I believe this is something that many in the industry will read and say “well thanks, Captain Obvious”…but if you are starting out, not everything is so obvious to you just yet. The importance of walking a site may just be on that list of things that could be taken for granted, and I have … More The Importance Of Walking A Site
For the experienced WiFi engineers reading this (if you give it a second or two), what I am about to share is going to maybe make some cringe. Or shout an expletive or two. Look, I get it…this one was a learning experience, and we all have them a time or two in our careers. … More Design It Once, Design It A Half Dozen Times…

Why would they be any different when it came … More Will The New iPhone Drive WiFi 6 Adoption?
As we prepare for the 802.11ax/WiFi 6 changes, it’s worth seeing if the new tech makes sense for you. … More To WiFi 6 Or Not To WiFi 6, That Is The Question
So, I realize I’ve been really bad for a few months relative to keeping this updated. This is going to be one part mea culpa, one part warning. 🙂 The mea culpa? Yep, that’s me apologizing for neglecting this since May. Sure, I had good reasons. Kids finishing school, summer vacations and all that. Totally … More One phase completed, another begins
Or, another way of putting it…it’s great to accomplish goals. If you’ve read my earlier posts from 2019 (and I apologize, there have not been a lot), I started out this year with a few goals. Some loftier than others. A quick summary: achieve CCNA R+S Earn my CWAP Lose weight be a better engineer/learn … More It takes a village…
Actually, goals can be great. I am someone who, I will freely admit, would spend time thinking to myself “if I just do this, every day, by next year I could be at this point”. That could relate to learning, fitness, anything really. It’s very easy to talk about it. It’s a whole lot different … More Goals are good
I know I am not the only one watching the calendar and counting down the days, but WLPC is getting close. As I write this, it’s just under three weeks away. Granted, I am also counting down till February 15-I am going to a bootcamp, after all. So, as I prep for my second such … More Prepping for WLPC 2019
