Marvis Minis and Marvis Actions have come a long way since when they were first announced. Mist has stayed true to their progression of AI and the integration with the network. Today, Marvis Minis are continuing to provide value by testing the network continuously and now testing in regional PoPs to determine if application issues are caused by other things. And then we have Marvis Actions which traditionally has provided recommendations to network engineers. And soon, it will now be able to make immediate changes to issues it sees. It will start with easy issues like missing VLANs but it will get so much better. Tune in to this episode to hear more about what other new features will be coming to networks near you!

Rowell recently deployed new Mist AP45 access points in a car manufacturing facility. The IT team had successfully performed testing prior to the installation but we ran into multiple issues after mounting over 70 access points. The Mist dashboard exposed a number of issues: DHCP Timed Out DHCP Inform Timed Out Association issues Missing VLANs Additionally, users who joined to Wi-Fi stated they did not have Internet. The issues led to a network audit which exposed the Wi-Fi issues. The post CTS 355: Exposing the Real Wi-Fi Issue appeared first on Clear To Send .…

François returns from WLPC Phoenix 2025 to share his experience and some of the memorable presentations from the conference. There were a lot of new faces and an improvement in the quality of presentations. Lots to learn from so be sure to check out the videos on YouTube. The deep dives were plenty to pick from and contained a lot of useful learning. A few highlights were the broadcasting of OpenRoaming with a few AP vendors. Additionally, this seemed to be the largest event for WLPC Phoenix with more than 400 attendees. Some of the memorable presentations included: Jerry Olla on roaming David Coleman on spectrum analysis Charles Clare on designing Wi-Fi for exams Firas Shaari on a real world example of HaLow Wi-Fi Wes Purvis on the differences in access points Jake Snyder on MBSSID Mike Atkins on deploying 6 GHz outdoor Jim Florwick on conference Wi-Fi Rosalie Bibona on Building an Enterprise AP Lee Badman about Leading Connor Burke & Dennis Burell Resources Link to all presentations → https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXJsNZqZEF9YI_whgRZsCdER90QbKgaWx Wi-Fi Awards Winners → https://thewifiawards.com/2025-award-winners The post CTS 354: WLPC Phoenix 2025 appeared first on Clear To Send .…

https://youtu.be/JZKWQKZ3_Zo This episode on the EX4000 is sponsored by Juniper Networks. Rowell, François, and Abhi discuss the release of the EX4000 switch from Juniper Networks. Abhi, a product manager at Juniper, shared that the switch will be available on February 12th, just in time for Valentine's Day. The switch will come in various models, including 8, 12, 24, and 48 ports. Also discussed is the importance of switching in network infrastructure and the need for upgrades to support new access points like the AP47s. What’s new with the EX4000 is how quick the boot time is. 2 minutes for the EX4000 to get up and running. Another great benefit of the EX4000 is it is much quieter from the other EX switch line. This switch would go well in open office environments. It’s also perfect for higher education or retail environments. Out of the box the EX4000 will support CloudX and have additional telemetry. To work natively with the Mist cloud. It still operates on the same Junos and will be easily managed in the Mist dashboard.

Austin, from Nile Secure, joins us on the show to talk about how Nile is disrupting the networking industry. We talk about the complexity and challenges people face in managing and scaling their networks. What we were interested in learning about is how Nile Secure differentiates themselves in the industry. Especially, when it comes to network automation. We know that it can be difficult to find engineers who are good at both automation and network engineering. Where some companies fail is on their network automation initiatives. Many have the goal of automating more than half of the manual tasks. But how easily can this be achieved? Austin describes how Nile Secure has built a cloud-native network operating system that runs on their own hardware to deliver predictable outcomes. Where automation tasks start from day 0. Where Nile Secure places a strong focus is on network security. Implementing Zero Trust while eliminating the complex configurations that come with it. Take a listen to this episode and let us know what you think down in the comments!
