Corvus’ Verdicts in the wild.
Real scans. Real findings. Real fixes.
Pilchers Barbershop
Retail · Pensacola FL
A dense ISP-congested 2.4 GHz environment with co-channel interference from CoxWiFi networks and three competing SSIDs degrading POS system throughput.
Findings
- ●CoxWiFi co-channel interference on CH 11
- ●Router on non-standard channel 9 — maximum overlap
- ●Three networks competing for airtime on same channel
- ●POS system throughput degraded during peak hours
- ●No 5 GHz offload configured on client router
Corvus’ Verdict
Corvus identified the Cox-provided gateway as a Vantiva unit broadcasting on a non-standard channel with three competing ISP networks in the same power level range. Channel change to 1, 5 GHz band steering enabled, and isolation of POS VLAN resolved throughput degradation.
Olive Baptist Church
Church · Pensacola FL
A large-venue environment with a completely open network, severe 2.4 GHz congestion on Channel 6, and no network segmentation between staff and guest traffic.
Findings
- ●Open network — zero encryption on both 2.4 and 5 GHz bands
- ●Channel 6 carrying 7+ competing networks simultaneously
- ●SSID visible to the parking lot and adjacent businesses
- ●No guest network separation from internal systems
- ●Signal levels adequate but channel saturation preventing performance
Corvus’ Verdict
Corvus identified the router as an ASUS unit on an auto-assigned channel that coincided with the six highest-power neighboring networks. WPA3 enabled, channel moved to 11, guest SSID created with VLAN isolation. Security posture corrected in under 30 minutes.
