Hi Everyone -
I work at a hospital that has only set up a guest wireless network for everyone, including staff.
Each time I need to access it with my MBA or iPhone, I have to "authenticate" the session.
This already slows things down. However, now I am noticing that it "deauthenticates" my device frequently --- while I am browsing.
I spoke with our tech support and -- well first they dont support anything Mac, and windows products dont have this problem --- in any case, he said it was because there is a power saving feature on Macs that cause them to disconnect when not being used. This doesnt make sense, since it is happening while I am using it!!
Anyway, is there truth to this? Is there a way to turn it off?
Is there something I can install that will automatically "authenticate" the guest network?
Thank you all!
