In our eagerness to learn new stuff all the time it is sometimes useful to have the basic WiFi knowledge repeated.

I do, approximately once a year, listen or look through some webinars/podcasts/presentations which are available online. This is nice to do when I’m driving between locations.

This is my personal list. These topics are also available in other places too and the list could have been longer.

Each item is described with some remarks, but there are not any hyperlinks because they can change randomly

I think this is a good start. There are others who also could have been on this list but I had to end it somewhere. I apologize to those who think they should have been there.

In the end, I will also mention one document/paper I also return to

Arbitration
— White paper from Marcus Burton on cwnp.com
