Yes we have, and this shows 5 ghz number of clients is growing, but 2.4 numbers are growing faster.. so % wise the number of 5 Ghz clienst is declining. best regards, Kees. Jason Cook jason.c...@adelaide.edu.au 9/28/2011 1:45 AM We also have around 25% of devices using 5ghz, it's easy

I think we were in a similar situation as you - we're an Aruba shop and needed to switch to AES to fully support N connections. We have one SSID that is using a pre-shared key for lab laptops. We simply switched the termination to AES and those lab stations (both Windows and Mac) picked up the

Going back in time, there was buzz about devices lacking the math co-processing power and such needed to support AES when WPA2 became available, so the TKIP thing took root. It is my conjecture that any device of any kind manufactured in the last few years that can run WPA/TKIP (enterprise) can

We went through the transition when we started buying 802.11n devices. For the most part, we advertised this change as preparing our network for higher wireless speeds with 802.11n. When we cut over to WPA2/AES only on our main SSID we additionally dropped 802.11b support. We were finding

And here’s ours. We’re mostly dual-band, but not all N, and Band Select is enabled. Note the number of 802.11b clients. [cid:image003.png@01CC7DD2.EF4B10A0] Toivo Voll Network Administrator Information Technology Communications University of South Florida inline: image003.png

Toivo, You might want to consider to shut off 802.11b, it takes away valuable 'airtime' from the rest of your clients by slowing down potentially all of your AP's with management and beacon frames only for 13 clients.. We did it via our captive portal, informing our clients about this. Most
