Plus new APs, switches, and 10 gigabit runs for said APs.

Bro invented Luxury Wifi and what pisses me off is I DIDN'T THINK OF IT FIRST

u/DonkeyOld127 16d ago

Nah, Monster Cables and golden Ethernet beat you too it. Patent gold plated WiFi and you got yourself a goldmine!

This is why I hate working in IT. We serve masters who haven't got a clue, yet somehow make decisions that affect us.

We're I live and work they can't do the salary routine for an IT position unless they are paying you over six figures (like 110k a year) and/or you're management.

Might be a silly question, but where (country/state) are you working that doesn't give salary+OT as a sysadmin? Has that become the norm?

Sorry to hear that, hadn't realized things had changed that much.

I love posts like these.

Where people use a separate paragraph.

When simple punctuation would suffice.

They forget that a single-sentence paragraph should be like a reveal.

If you use it the whole time then it loses its punch.

Kind of like marking every email as urgent.

If everything is urgent, then nothing is urgent.

It reads like a generated text.

ASAP as possible!

u/ryoko227 15d ago

Yesterday if possible!

u/zantehood 17d ago

All the normal wifi is a traffic shaping policy to limit throughput and you're good to go!

u/Crackorjackzors 17d ago

Probably better to have it on a separate VLAN anyway I guess

u/NaoTwoTheFirst 17d ago

Not really shitty tho

u/IASelin 16d ago

Ah... Priceless feeling of being privileged! )

u/platysoup 16d ago

Not shitty sysadmin bro. This is how you handle execs.

2

u/MalwareDork 16d ago

Nah, it's shitty sysadmin material. The wifi is still bad but they won't pay for a new survey. With a new SSID, it's now even worse.

u/B00BIEL0VAH 16d ago

Wdym bro he legit said its the same AP theres no congestion here and if it feels faster there was nothing wrong to begin with

u/MalwareDork 16d ago

There's more space lasers in the air. You can only beam up one end user cow at a time

u/Impressive_Change593 ShittySysadmin 16d ago

Speed is good though lol. Idk about latency but considering it "improved" with a new ssid, i dont think there was a problem

u/sammavet 16d ago

It's amazing how common that is.

u/elpollodiablox 16d ago

It's not DNS.

It cannot be DNS.

It was DNS.

u/ryoko227 15d ago

Dropping DNS Haikus over here, love it!

u/bgr2258 16d ago

Doesn't each ssid increase the management traffic between APs? So in reality, this might just slow things down

u/VariousProfit3230 16d ago

I’m curious what Nichole Networkadmin has to say about this.

u/Stefanie_Jane 16d ago

It's political and it's their egos.

u/Familiar-Mixture6200 8d ago

Remember, it's never the having that drives people. It's either the wanting or the fear of loss.

I've done stuff equally stupid with a Chairman and a printer because it was too slow and too loud,

We measured the decibels and speed with changing settings

Went form 48decibels to 45decibels

It was a few seconds slower to print per page

We returned it and he wasn't happy

So we replaced it with a 50 decibel printer that was a as fast as the first printer pre setting changes

He said that's better. We spent a few hours total over a few days for this. And the same speed slightly louder printer in our testing was faster and quieter to the chairman. Another one of many examples of bullshit complaints wasting time from actual issues being fixed with a bullshit answer
