📘 Wi-Fi Word of the Day: Hidden Node Problem Picture two clients that can both hear the access point clearly, but can't hear each other. Neither one knows the other is transmitting, so they both send data at the same time and collide at the AP. That's the hidden node problem. It's common in larger coverage areas, outdoor deployments, or anywhere physical obstructions sit between clients that share an AP. The result looks like random packet loss and retries with no obvious cause, which makes it one of the trickier RF issues to diagnose from a dashboard alone. Understanding how CSMA/CA and RTS/CTS work to manage this is core to real wireless troubleshooting. Recognizing the pattern is the first step to fixing it.

Earned your CWNA in 2023? It expires this year. CWNA-109 launched September 30, 2023, and CWNA certifications are valid for three years. If you were in that first cohort, your clock is running out right about now. Two ways to renew: 1. Pass a professional-level exam; CWSP, CWDP or CWAP, before your CWNA expires, and your CWNA renews for another three years. Each of those also earns credit toward CWNE. 2. Or retake the current version of the CWNA exam. As of September 28, that's CWNA-110. Which means the pre-order discount is a renewal discount. Study guide, e-Learning, practice tests and vouchers are 25% off through Sept 28, 11:59 p.m. ET. Use code CWNA25 at checkout. zurl.co/sxU4K #CWNA #CWNE #WirelessNetworking #ITCertification

🏆 CWNE Spotlight: Vijay Rajanarayanan (CWNE #638) Vijay has spent more than 20 years in enterprise networking, working across engineering, technical marketing, product management, and solutions architecture at Meru Networks, Cisco, Aruba, Cisco Meraki, Juniper Mist, and now Hewlett Packard Enterprise, where he's a Senior Sales Engineer and Wireless Solutions Architect. His CWNE journey pulled him back into the fundamentals even after two decades in the field. "It was less about adding another certification to my resume and more about becoming a student again and testing the depth of my own understanding." The CWNE isn't just four exams. It's documented commercial deployments, peer endorsements, and a board review. That's why it means something. 📖 Read the full spotlight: zurl.co/MM2zu

"I'm halfway through studying for CWNA-109. Do I stop?" No. Finish it. The CWNA-109 exam is available through December 31, 2026. A 109 pass is a full CWNA certification, valid three years, exactly like a 110 pass. If you're deep in the material, sit the exam you've been preparing for. If you haven't started yet, start on 110. Pre-order before Sept 28 and you'll save 25% and begin on a three-year cycle rather than the tail end of one. And for the record on what "new version" means here: 108 in 2020. 109 in 2023. 110 in 2026. We refresh the objectives every three years so the exam matches the networks you're actually walking into. RF fundamentals, antenna behavior, 802.11 architecture, site survey method, security, troubleshooting — that's the foundation, and it doesn't move.

What is the main goal of using encryption in a wireless LAN?

Wi-Fi 7 made up less than 1% of enterprise access point revenue in early 2024. By the first quarter of 2026, it's up to 44.5%, according to IDC's latest WLAN market tracking. Source: zurl.co/9w4Dq That's one of the fastest standard transitions IDC has tracked in enterprise WLAN, driven by AI workloads that need lower latency, denser IoT environments, and Multi-Link Operation capabilities that Wi-Fi 6 and 6E simply can't deliver at the same scale. Here's what the stat doesn't say: buying Wi-Fi 7 hardware and deploying it well are two different skill sets. MLO, 6 GHz channel planning, and AI-aware capacity design all require an understanding of what's actually happening at the protocol layer, not just which box has the higher spec sheet. The organizations moving fastest on Wi-Fi 7 are also the ones who'll feel a skills gap first if their teams aren't ready for it. Is your team's Wi-Fi 7 knowledge keeping pace with your hardware refresh?

If your team's wireless knowledge is three years old, so is your design work. The engineers who consult with your customers, size the deployment and hand it over are making decisions worth far more than the training that got them there. One bad assumption about RF behavior costs more than an entire team's certification budget. CWNA-110 launches Sept 28. Until then, pre-orders are 25% off. Lock 25% for the whole team on this year's budget and have them start on day one. Vendor-neutral means it holds up across every deployment your team touches, not just the vendor you're standing up this quarter.

802.11b. 802.11n. 802.11ac. Wi-Fi 6. Wi-Fi 7. Enterprise wireless has been redesigned from the ground up more than once in 25 years. Through all of it, what CWNA teaches — how RF actually behaves, how the protocol actually works — held. That's why we refresh the objectives every three years and leave the fundamentals alone. CWNA-110 continues that line. Vendor-neutral isn't a marketing line, either. It's what makes your knowledge portable the day your organization switches hardware vendors. Launches Sept 28. Pre-orders are 25% off until then. 25 days, for 25 years. Use code CWNA25 at checkout. cwnp.com/buy-products/cwna?u… #CWNA #VendorNeutral #WirelessNetworking #WiFi

🏆 CWNE Spotlight: Sunil Narayanan Aniyambeth (CWNE #636) Sunil moved from wired networking into wireless more than a decade ago at Comcast, where he's now an Architect on the Wi-Fi Architecture team, working on a public Wi-Fi network spanning over 24 million hotspots and the access points inside Xfinity Mobile Arena. He's also a co-inventor on a patented solution for reducing unnecessary Wi-Fi roaming events and has spoken at both SCTE and WLPC. "Mastering Wi-Fi fundamentals makes it easier to work with any vendor's solutions. CWNP's emphasis on technical depth, real-world expertise, and community contribution made it the ideal certification path for me." The CWNE isn't just four exams. It's documented commercial deployments, peer endorsements, and a board review.

25% off, 25 days, 25 years of CWNA. Here's what's actually in the pre-order. 📘 Digital study guide. Every CWNA-110 objective, in order. This is the part that teaches you why wireless behaves the way it does instead of which menu to click. eLearning. The same material, taught rather than read. If you learn better watching someone work through RF behavior than reading about it, start here. 📝 Practice tests. The one people skip and then wish they hadn't. The study guide tells you whether you recognize the material. Practice tests tell you whether you can apply it with a timer running, which is the actual exam condition. 🎟️ Exam voucher. One CWNA-110 attempt via CWNP Remote Proctoring or Prometric testing center. Buy now, schedule when you're ready. ⭐ Bundles. Any combination, and pay less than buying them separately - and the 25% comes off on top. 🛒 Pre-order pricing ends Sept. 28, 11:59 p.m. ET.

Happy Labor Day from the CWNP team! To everyone who's ever gotten a call about the Wi-Fi being "down" while trying to enjoy a day off...we see you. Thanks for keeping the networks running so the rest of us can actually log off today. 😉 Enjoy the long weekend. #LaborDay #CWNP #WirelessNetworking #WiFi #NetworkEngineering

📢 25 years. 25 days. 25% off.🎉 CWNA turns 25 this year. To mark it, every CWNA-110 pre-order is 25% off for the next 25 days.🤩 The reason CWNA has outlasted 802.11b, 802.11n, 802.11ac and now Wi-Fi 7 is that it never taught you which menu to click. It taught you why RF behaves the way it does. This is knowledge that holds up no matter whose access points are on the ceiling. CWNA-110 launches September 28.

I'm listening to music on Youtube this morning and I get an ad (what's up with ad blockers these days?) and, hearing @CWNP I felt obligated to let it play all 3 minutes. By the end, I think @carpentertom and @CWNP_Sales convinced me to do the CWNA again
