A conference client has a strong signal and a valid address, and transfers crawl. The access point shows the channel busy almost continuously. Authentication succeeded. What is the limit?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
The client can hear the access point just fine, and the channel is full. You are waiting in a crowd, not failing a login. The authentication already succeeded, so look at the airtime.
Full Explanation
A strong signal and a valid address mean the client joined and got through addressing. Authentication succeeded. Transfers still crawl because the channel is busy almost continuously, so the client gets little airtime. The certificate is not still being checked. A busy channel is not an authentication in progress. High utilization does not make an address link-local. The client has a valid address, which is the opposite of a DHCP failure. A portal name does not attach itself to a strong signal. This conference client is not described as a guest redirect. The signal and the address are already fine. Airtime is what the busy channel is taking away from the transfer. Exam caveat: a busy channel can be your own clients, a neighbor, or a non-Wi-Fi device. Utilization tells you the air is full. A spectrum check tells you who is filling it. Operational check: read the utilization and the retry rate, move a test client to a quieter channel or a quieter time, and confirm the transfer improves while the signal stays strong.
