Only employees / business devices are allowed to connect.
so how many total devices are we talking about?
what is the bandwidth of the ISP connection?
what is the bandwidth utilitzation per endpoint for the application in question?
how much bandwidth is being chewed up by staff devices downloading FB, YT, updates, etc? perhaps that needs to be squeezed to next to nothing to ensure enough bandwidth for the business stuff. -
@WrCombs what is the sq footage of the building and how many employees are in the building at the same time?

Was it recently upgraded? A few failures were common when upgrading from 5.x.xx to 6.x.xx versions.

Still on 5.x.xx I believe, at least it was last night.

You sure that wasn't just the firmware?
Where is the controller hosted?
You're company isn't the network support group, right? that's why you don't have admin rights to the controller - hell, I'm amazed you have read only rights to the controller.

If you can get us a # of devices from the dashboard, that would help. I'm guessing there are going to be a bunch of them connected to the one that is closest to or in the kitchen area.

I'm trying to remember exactly, but I think the controller was on 4.x.xx and firmware was on 5.x.xx for the APs. but I could be completely wrong. Gotta get back in there to see.

some random bit of information unrelated because I can't log in.
But the owner was calling and texting me and my team because our "System is complete shit" and some other unpleasant things , then told me that it wasn't the network cause he has a Cellular backup in place and it has never once turned on so me saying it's a network issue is "utter bullshit and just an excuse"
Good to know that other people think the same thing. -

Good to know that other people think the same thing.What does not using cellular backup have to do with anything?
I hope you told him there are multiple aspects to the network....
The Wifi
The wired (switches)
the firewall
the ISP
hell - from a network POV, since the app is cloud hosted - The internet at large could be to blame
and the DC/ISPs used by the cloud service.Tons of "networks" can be to blame here.

Because he wasn't "losing internet" and that's the scope of his understanding the for networks ...

I explained a lot of this stuff to him but he wasn't listening, he wanted me to take the blame and fix the problem so he could bitch to my boss about how much money he lost because of us...

So if he has zero understanding, and decides to be the IT troubleshooter, no longer your problem.

I certainly wish that were true - I can see what you're saying, but that doesn't stop him from blowing up or support line because he's having issues with devices connecting.

Sure, but he's also @WrCombs customer. I think it's a valuable experience to work for someone who is unreasonable actually. It's not up to him to know what it is or how to fix it or to even be reasonable. Trying to get him to understand is a mistake. Just accept the situation for what it is and try to resolve the problem to the best of your ability. That is the only thing you can do. Take it from personal experience that trying to understand a customer and trying to get the customer to understand you is completely futile. Connection is a two-way street.

Clearly he's not the endpoint for IT troubleshooting - if he was, troubleshooting that lack of use of Cellular would have been the end of it - but instead it's bitching at Will - to fix it.
