      Since we three minions of the IT apocalypse began our tenure here (3 months apart roughly) we inherited a diverse environment with unique demands. Such were these demands that we neglected to do a really fine toothed comb of the nitty gritty here. Excuses. Valid and at the time important ones. Excuses none the less. Today we reaped the rewards of completing that exercise nearly 3 years too late.

      Feast thine eyes upon our embarrassment.

      As you may have surmised from the heat maps above, our AP's were setup incorrectly. It turns out they work better when put on the correct VLAN and rebooted. This existed for almost 3 years with weekly complaints about wifi. We never stopped to investigate the actual equipment until today when preparing a project plan for it's replacement.

      Why share my misery? So you can LEARN and not repeat our mistake.
