The Ekahau Sidekick Power Suppy Model is VEC65US24

If you are looking for a quick replacement of your Ekahau Sidekick's Power Supply, look no further.  I'm only posting this because I was in an emergency moment where I had forgot mine and it took awhile to even find the part # or think I was going to have to pay over $100.00 to even get it from the places we'd normally look.

There is nothing special to the adapter and it is widely available and you can get it shipped quickly.  I'll also save you the time:  No - unless you know someone else with on in the city you are working in, you will be SOL to find this locally anywhere for sale unless you can physically drive to a place like Newark and hope that their site near you is the distribution site.  I'd recommend calling first.

The model is VEC65US24

(VEF65US24 is the same exact power specs as above and will work but this could void your Sidekick warranty since it's not the exact same one.)


I'm going to give a shout out to Newark https://www.newark.com as they will be the company that will get your item shipped out faster than anyone else I could find on the internet.


Here is Newark's shipping times/cut-offs just in case you are in one of those OMG I forgot my power for my Sidekick moments.  Hopefully you have a full charge for the first day.

Finding WLAN issues from the Windows Client Side

What happens when you've done everything from the wifi side of diagnosis a problem dare I say a ghost problem? What if the situation within your network seems perfect, you can't find anything in packet captures, Prime or off your WLC - What other options do you have?  Luckily, I found plenty! One of the handiest tools I like to use when onsite and starting to check clients out is the NETSH command in command line. Doing a roaming analysis via the client versus on Prime isn't a bad thing some days to give you a real world perspective of when roams happen.  Of course, client debugging in WLCs help too but I figured I'd show you what I do when walking around with a laptop to see the BSSID you are connected to. I use  netsh wlan show interface  Which outputs this:     Name                   : Wi-Fi     Description            : Marvell ...

Quickly and Freely convert a DWG file to a PNG for Ekahau

DWG to PNG Free and Quick! One of the problems that we run into many times with Ekahau is the size of the file that has been converted from a DWG file.  While a desktop with some horsepower (CPU, GPU, RAM) can power through it we may notice that during a Survey that there may not be enough power. What do I mean?  I think most have experienced it but when you start moving around on the map, things lag - it feels that the picture takes for ever to rasterize on the screen. This is a part of what I believe needs to be done before you get onsite and before you step of your house to start a survey. LOAD THE ESX file that was used in the design and test the speed on the device you will be surveying with.  If you are noticing acting like Google Chrome (aka resource hog) then you should probably recreate the file unless there is an explicit need to use the original design ESX file. So now the situation is this - you have the DWG file, you know that if you load it that you are goin...

Pull all AP names from a Cisco WLC easily

How to collect AP Names from a Cisco WLC So if you are running into this, you've likely have already worked with spreadsheets that help auto-populate commands.  It's pretty simple to create these but I'll give you a little screenshot of a basic use of this in Excel. Put the AP name in A1 of Excel Then create a colum with =CONCATENATE("config ap primary-base NAME-HERE  ",A1, " 192.168.1.1") This will create the command of "config ap primary-base APNAME1 192.168.1.1" You can then fill in A2, A3 with the rest of the names.  This is useful if you are pulling AP's from one controller to another. This allows you to create a command list to make instant changes by cutting and pasting into SecureCRT, Putty or whatever your program of choice is. The first area in black would be the WLC Domain name (WLC01-5520) and the second black part would be the IP (192.168.1.1) as an example. But what if you don't have the list of AP names?  What do you do? ...
