Dear Attendees, The RiverCenter Marriott Hotel in-room wireless provides over two different flavor access points, 75% older HP and about 25% Ruckus. The HPs are giving people a very bad experience, as many of you know, while performance over the Ruckus APs is generally good. The HP Access Points and and their deployment have a number of serious limitations which make it impossible to provide a quality service over this infrastructure. We also believe that the NANOG specific guest SSID may also be effecting the non-NANOG end users of the general Marriott_GUEST wireless over the HP access points. Therefore, we are about to turn off the NANOG-guestroom SSID on the HP units. The Marriott_GUEST SSID will remain on all hotel access points while the NANOG-guestroom SSID will remain on the only Ruckus units. We believe this may result in better performance of the Marriott_GUEST SSID as well as making it easier for NANOG guests to associate with the Ruckus access points. NANOG attendees are entitled to FREE use of the Marriott-GUEST wifi (the $12.95 charge will be reversed at checkout). If unable to connect to the NANOG-guestroom, or you experience a weak signal or poor performance from the SSID NANOG-guestroom, please consider using Marriott_GUEST SSID, which may be improved by the removal of NANOG-guestroom network. We regret that determining the best network may be left to you, the user, however we've found no better way to support all guests. Please do not hesitate to reach out to nanog-eng@nanog.org with any questions, concerns, or comments. Eric, NOC Eng -- Eric Oosting Network Architect eoosting@netuf.net | 404-941-6678
