What Are You Doing Right Now
-
an actual conversation this morning :
Me: Hey do you have the cybera email for support? i gotta open a call about Guest wifi at this site and they control that.
CW: Well what's going on?
Me: well, i told you, guest wifi is not allowing people to connect to it. AP is online and broadcasting the wifi - there's something fishy with the site.. so do you have that support email?
CW: well did you reboot the AP?
Me: Why would I do that if it's broadcasting the wifi? the AP is doing it's job..
CW: but did you ?
Me: I found the Email Address !no, I didnt because the AP is online and broadcasting the SSID - it is when the guest tries to connect to the wifi that it gets stopped.
CW: what the hell is broadcasting the SSID?me:

@wrcombs You still should have rebooted it. Just because it is broadcasting, does not mean it is passing traffic.

Not really sure why you care so much about the fact that it's broadcasting the SSID - that doesn't mean squat. It could still be stuck in a loop, etc...
A better reason to not reboot the AP is because it's also servicing production devices and those devices are working, and rebooting the AP would cause an outage for those productions devices. If it's not servicing production - then just reboot it.

and the point was missed by all -
I ended up rebooting the AP 3 times with the site and it is still happening. -

Valid question, as any device could do this whether it is functioning or not, or the correct device or not.

That you have rebooted it and it is still happening in no way indicates that rebooting first wasn't the right course of action. Once you rebooted it and it didn't fix it, then it's time to report the issue and let them know that you've already done the first, critical, testing step of restarting the hardware.

Me: Why would I do that if it's broadcasting the wifi? the AP is doing it's job..You never knew, and still don't know, this. You have no evidence that the AP even exists, let alone is doing its, or any, job based on what you've described. Unless you can connect and prove that it is working, you can't know that it is doing its job.
Broadcasting an SSID but not working beyond that is a fairly common AP failure situation.

Speccing out some servers.

Nope. The point is you responded incorrectly.
Was CW correct in anything aside from the reboot question? No.
But that is 100% the first that should have happened, and been included in your first response to CW.

Thank you, as far as I can tell we made it through without damage and still have power. My brother in law wasn’t as fortunate but are all safe.
Snapped power pole on their road, damage to their pool deck, car, and seemingly small stuff. House across from them last the roof, barn flattened,…
We are in a state of emergency, western Kentucky took it in the face and early estimates put the loss of life high…
A record no one wants.

It is insane that it is the middle of December and this severe weather struck. i can't seem to get the imbedded video so I'll just leave this link to the local news.
Deadly Western Kentucky Severe Weather
Several states - nearly 200 miles gone.
