I should have been more specific - I was talking about Meru ...sorry about that! -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] 802.11n phased deployment approaches Date: Thu, 3 Jun 2010 11:02:10 -0400 From: Caroline Owens <ow...@sju.edu> Reply-To: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv <WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU> To: WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU I agree with Jim...I think you can do it, it's just more work and more room for error For example, if you are going to have APs within hearing distance of each other with different band configurations (like b/g vs b/g/n) they need to be on separate ESS profiles.... at least that's my understanding...
