I don't know what model of Symbol HH you are currently operating with, but I would make sure that Use Aironet Extensions are disabled, short slot times are disabled, and CCX is disabled.

Depending on the model of HH, short/long preamble could be determined. The DTIM 10 is a standard setting when using Symbol HH devices in order to conserve battery life. If using DTIM of 1 (Cisco default is 2), you will experience a shorter battery life and will be swapping out batteries every 2-4 hours, depending on usage/application.

Without knowing what the actual issues are, very hard to provide more input.

Success Stories

I literally just came out of the testing centre having taken the CWDP exam. The certification process opened my mind to different techniques and solutions. This knowledge can only broaden your perspective. Great job, CWNP, you have a great thing going on here.

Working through the CWNP coursework and certifications helped not only to deepen my technical knowledge and understanding, but also it boosted my confidence. The hard work it took to earn my CWNE has been rewarding in so many ways.

I want to commend you and all at CWNP for having a great organization. You really 'raise the bar' on knowing Wi-Fi well. I have learned a ton of information that is helping my job experience and personal career goals, because of my CWAP/CWDP/CWSP studies. Kudos to all at CWNP.
