A routing redesign reports fewer hops but application response time at peak traffic has worsened is a separate situation normally addressed by: Compare before/after service latency and packet loss alongside route path information under equivalent conditions. This change record concerns a different issue, specifically: After new APs are installed the support team cites fewer tickets but the building now has many more clients.

A high-density auditorium will receive new APs but no prechange RF utilization measurements were retained is a separate situation normally addressed by: Capture band/channel airtime occupancy, retries and client distribution during a comparable event. This change record concerns a different issue, specifically: After new APs are installed the support team cites fewer tickets but the building now has many more clients.

Adjacent APs have excessive transmit power overlap and clients show frequent ping-pong roaming is a separate situation normally addressed by: Tune power and cell boundaries using measured neighbor RSSI and actual roaming events. This change record concerns a different issue, specifically: After new APs are installed the support team cites fewer tickets but the building now has many more clients.

Relocate the AP to the surveyed safe mounting point with an approved cable path belongs to a different operational case: A new AP is installed close to a high-voltage electrical cabinet contrary to its RF and safety design. It does not target the specific issue here; the intended remedy is: Mount the AP at the approved visible height and orientation rather than behind attenuating material.

Compare visible broadcast WLANs against the approved building SSID inventory after provisioning belongs to a different operational case: A policy change introduces a second guest SSID but the old SSID remains advertised in the building. It does not target the specific issue here; the intended remedy is: Mount the AP at the approved visible height and orientation rather than behind attenuating material.
