Ten Years of Weekly Wi-Fi Mentorship, Free

By Keith Parsons, CWNE #3 · 2026-06-23 · originally on LinkedIn

Two practicing CWNEs have published a Wi-Fi episode every week since 2015. If you do Wi-Fi for a living and you're not listening, you're skipping free senior-engineer mentorship.

The show is Clear To Send. Rowell Dionicio (CWNE #210) founded it solo in August 2015 and ran it himself at the start. François Vergès (CWNE #180) joined as co-host in early 2017. Both own real consulting practices, Packet6 and SemFio Networks, so the advice maps to billable reality instead of a vendor launch deck.

A decade of weekly episodes is a reference library, not a feed. Frame-level troubleshooting, spectrum analysis, dashboards built on APIs, Wi-Fi for live events, the road to CWNE. Episodes run 20 to 50 minutes, named by topic, so you cherry-pick by the problem in front of you.

Here's how I'd use it: Junior engineer building toward CWNE? Treat the back catalog as a curriculum, not a playlist.

Busy this week? Pull the one episode that matches your problem and skip the rest.

Going deep before a hard project? Binge every episode on the topic, then take your questions to the Clear To Send Slack.

Which Clear To Send episode taught you something you actually used on a job?
