Resource usage. Why have 57 connections to your wireless network when none are needed. In my case I can reboot my AP controller at 4am with nobody in the building and I'll get 57 registrations in two minutes. We start to get connectivity issues at about 200 users - users come in, dock and power up their laptops. As we generally only have 70-80 users really using wireless at any one time, we're giving away ~50% of our capacity by my calculations...

Doesn't the laptop use the wired (by making the metric "weigh less") automatically? What's the benefit of turning the Wifi off? --Matt Ross Ephrata School District ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael B.
