Hi
I am helping out a primary school who had an Aruba IAP-105 system installed about 4 years ago, the system comprises of about 14 APs.
There are 7 APs at each end of the school connected to a local switch, the two sides of the school are then linked using 1GB copper between the switches.
One of the issues they have is that when they have ~60 laptops running the wireless network regularily crashes and everything needs to be power cycled.
We have just got the username/password from the old supplier and found that it is running version 6.1.3.0-3.0.0 - presumably a good starting point would be to upgrade this to the latest version?
I read something about band steering, our Aruba's are currently set for:
band-steering-mode prefer-5ghz
Should we change this to better balance the laptops across the channels?
Anything else we should be looking at?
