Description























Rowell recently deployed new Mist AP45 access points in a car manufacturing facility.







The IT team had successfully performed testing prior to the installation but we ran into multiple issues after mounting over 70 access points.







The Mist dashboard exposed a number of issues:









* DHCP Timed Out







* DHCP Inform Timed Out







* Association issues







* Missing VLANs









Additionally, users who joined to Wi-Fi stated they did not have Internet.







The issues led to a network audit which exposed the Wi-Fi issues.
