CWDP 305 Chapter 9 Design Optimization
This final chapter brings everything together by focusing on validation, optimization, and handoff of a WLAN deployment. While design and implementation often get most of the attention, the final stages are usually the most challenging. Many engineers underestimate this phase and tend to neglect the “boring” but critical work of documentation, validation, and proper handoff….

CWDP 305 Chapter 8 Design Validation
Validating a wireless network deployment is a critical step to ensure the WLAN was installed and configured correctly. Before performing surveys, engineers should verify that APs are placed in the correct locations, configurations and security settings are accurate, and supporting services such as DNS, DHCP, and captive portals function properly. A post-validation survey can then…

Looking Back at Future Wi-Fi Predictions from 2016
I recently rediscovered one of my old Wi-Fi blog posts from 2016 about future IEEE 802.11 technologies. Reading it made me smile. Not because it was perfect, but because it wasn’t. The post is full of typos, long sentences and enthusiastic technical rambling. Back then there was no AI helping me rewrite or polish my…

CWDP 305 Chapter 7 WLAN Deployment
Even though the first part of this chapter may feel like a list you can skim through, I have learned it is a critical part of the design process. Designing a solid WLAN is only half the job, making sure it is deployed correctly matters just as much. Clear guidance, good documentation, and alignment with…

“The Wi-Fi is there… but nothing works.”
If you work in Wi-Fi, you’ve heard this more times than you can count. And every time, it sounds simple. But it almost never is. Because Wi-Fi issues aren’t just about signal they’re about experience, perception, and everything that happens between seeing a network and actually using it. It always starts with a complaint. Users…

CWDP 305 Chapter 6 Designing for Specific Scenarios
Another chapter tackled on my journey to passing the CWDP exam. To really understand the material, I’m using a mix of the official book, videos, and as many additional resources as I can find on the subject. There’s a lot of information to get through, and writing these blog posts helps me process and summarize…
