Is it actually available yet? The only in-wall AP I see on the ubnt.com
is the 2.4GHz-only one.

Thanks,

We started using the Assa Abloy locks this academic year in a few renovated 
residence halls, so we haven’t hit a battery change cycle yet.  Overall they 
seem to be working well.  They can do 802.1X auth/encryption.  I’m not aware of 
any major issues that have bubbled up to the networking team here after initial 
rollout.

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Cisco WLC code recommendations

[Jeffrey D. Sessler]

On the issue with the 2800/3800’s are RF leader. There is a Cisco document 
covering the proper setup of RF leaders with the XOR-specific WAP’s.
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/controller/technotes/8-3/b_RRM_White_Paper.html

Basically, they must have a RF leader that is running the code level that 
supports them i.e. if 8.0 is the RF leader you will have issues with many 
things including the XOR radio’s ability to auto-change roles. Also, the RF 
leader must be the same for 2.4 and 5, making manual assignment of the RF 
leader necessary.

We only have a handful of 3702i APs deployed but do not recall anything 
specific to that model. We moved from 8.0 to 8.2 for similar reasons though.  I 
doubt this is related with the random disassociations but we took Lee Badman’s 
suggestion to turn down the client exclusion timer from 60 seconds to 5 seconds 
on our dot1x SSIDs.  It seems to have helped incorrectly configured and/or 
poorly behaving clients a lot yet still provides some level of security.

I would guess everyone else knows this but running 8.0, 8.2, and/or 8.3 across 
the same RF grouping may give you unpredictable results.  Specifically 
2800/3800 APs that I tried to let do auto channel width in a small area….. for 
that area it worked fine until an 8.0 WLC was the RF leader.  At that point all 
of the APs on the newer controller code that supported auto channel width went 
to 80MHz channels.  It was a quick fix but it made me think someone was messing 
with me for a while……

If I may add to the question, does 8.2.141.0 solve the roaming issues with 
Apple devices and the association issues with 3700s seen in 8.0?

We’re on 8.0.121.0 and we’re experiencing delayed association/roaming, 
particularly on Apple devices. 8.0.140.0 improved roaming but caused devices to 
randomly disassociate for a minute or two at a time even during use when 
stationary, so we downgraded.

This page shows all the Cisco TAC recommended releases. This provides more 
information than the designations on the software download pages.

We have been running 8.2.141 on a couple production 5508 controllers since 
early February and are happy so far.  The update helped with some 2802 issues 
we had with the radios getting stuck or the APs crashing.  I think it also had 
some improvements with the auto channel width but we had already abandoned that 
dream by then.

Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Cisco WLC code recommendations

We are currently running version 8.0.133.0 on our Cisco 5508 controllers, as 
our current access points are primarily 3500s and 3600s. However we have 
recently purchased a batch of 2802i access points whose minimum supported 
version is 8.2.110.0.  I was looking to the group for their recommendations on 
a stable version of code which will support our new 2802i access points.
