It would be beneficial if the access points could also be managed from an on-premises controller. Regarding additional features, customers express interest in enhancing the controller, specifically improving the capability to manage a higher number of access points from the same controller. This feature is crucial for better scalability. Another feature that customers would appreciate is the ability to increase the number of access points. However, the current process for obtaining this permission can be time-consuming, and customers would like to see improvements in this regard."
"When there are a lot of people connected, especially during video streaming demonstrations, the connection can get a bit choppy."
"I would like to see a feature that blocks, increases, or decreases bandwidth capacity for devices."
