Use wifi in power save mode

Power Save Mechanism The client will achieve power savings when it goes into sleep mode after it indicates to the access point that it is entering power save mode and shuts down its receive path. The Access Point stores frames intended to the WiFi client device in power save mode and sends them to the device whenever requested to do so. During association, the client uses the Listen Interval parameter to indicate to the Access Point how many beacon intervals it will sleep before it retrieves the queued frames from the Access Point.

Now that challenge is solved too… YES!! What I quickly picked up on is that, without QoS configured, most of the major benefits introduced with I consider the improvements in two ways, the first is the benefit of the device saving battery and the second is the benefit to the BSS becoming more efficient. With target beacon transmit times TBTT being For BSS efficiency, power save techniques moved to removing the use of the PS-Poll control frame, introduced the concept of trigger frames, and allowed the AP to send buffered frames in a burst.

The trigger frame concept is a no-brainer; if the STA wakes up and begins to transmit, the AP sees that the STA is now awake and knows to send buffered frames. The process of sending buffered frames in burst adds most of the efficiency to the process.

Instead of transmitting one frame at a time like the legacy method, send in a burst when the AP can get control of the medium. I know I learned something new just from writing this post!

But maybe I'm wrong. We have a warehouse with devices and nothing like that ever happened. I will dig more information about assigning channels before I do or try this. WhatsApp - that exactly what I told them a few months ago. We don't support Whatsapp as IT Dept.

It could be anything. Now they saying that its a wifi issue and WhatsApp. Ping the device and see if it responds. You have the IP list from the Unifi Portal. My guess is it will and that the wifi isn't your issue. Do you have content filtering or security controls at the perimeter of your network? I will do ping next time when I will receive a complaint. I use whatsapp too, I have never seen this on my phone or PC but I may not that heavy user like them.

Could be something as silly as every day when someone uses the microwave it messes with the WiFi in the area had it happen with an old AP, the outlet was on a circuit that was maxed out, so whenever the microwave ran, the AP would freak out, but it never lost power, so that took us a while to figure it out.

And that's the story of how personal microwaves and fridges got banned from offices. And, going off the House theory of "everybody lies", the sudden complaint of not being able to do a google search could be a red herring to force you to chase their Whats App problem since they are suddenly diagnosing it as a WiFi issue for you. You might also have to be the bad guy and tell them that since WhatsApp isn't supported, you aren't going to sink a lot of time into trying to fix it. I don't like to do it, but it is not the biggest fire I have to work on.

It's funny that you mentioned microwave because as far as I remember the microwave is less than 2 meters 6" from AP or just about 2 meters. A year ago I didn't for them AP but I reused from warehouse and they complained that is slow and dropping then I purchased last autumn this AC-Pro, kind of fewer complaints but still. I need to check this microwave theory. Download , install and run Driver Booster.
