Thanks Mike, A bit of playing has shown why we haven’t had too many complaints, but when there is one we know why. The one user that had issues every couple of minutes was in between 2 AP’s, but each AP had a different controller backend so re-auth. Migrated so that both AP’s were on the same

Just tested with the new Apple tv 6.0 software and it appears that they have corrected the time issue when the device loses power. So if it loses power it can now reconnect back to an 802.1X network From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDU

Right. My take was that if vendor X chimed in and said "if you're using X you can enable to " it would make me wonder if I, using vendor Y, had a similar setting. Just for clarification, I know we have a policy against using the list for marketing, I wasn't sure if there was a clear statemen

I would prefer to see vendors remain on the list but not participate. They might feel obligated to defend their products and the discussion would shift more toward product comparisons. I don't have the funding or time to switch vendors as they leapfrog one another in new features. I need to find a
