Once… Continue reading BYOD with Device Registration and Native Supplicant Provisioning

This has ranged fromĀ "look how much bandwidth I can push through this AP" to just level setting expectations and verification. Typically I see people running various internet speed… Continue reading iPerf for Performance Testing
