WlanController + MacOS

[eyracastillorodriguez]

Hi !

I see on some places that on the WLan Controller have to be an special configuration for the MacOS devices (all iphones, iMac, etc of Mac). That's because on my WiFi all of those devices experiment slower to connect to a WLAN with WEP security.

So, anybody knows that type of configuration? We dont use Bonjour or something like that.

Thanks a lot!

Hi

Are you using WEP ? Not recommended at all, now a days even WPA/TKIP also treated as legacy & not recommended. What you should use WPA2/AES.

Here is the link to WLC best practices for Apple devices

Well Now the latest Encryption being used and recommended is WPA2/AES  So if you try to use WPA/AES or WAP2/TKIP  its not recommended.

Further more try to use open authentication first and test you MACOS devices connection latency after that if it works fine move to WPA2/AES .

One thing more if you are using too much of roaming then you have to make sure that Roaming is enabled on WLC for LAPs.

Hope this helps ;)
