This is without MAC auth. Pure open, piloted market leading MAC auth solutions
and fingerprinting was less than impressive.
This is an experiment.

Should be interesting. Would certainly be interested to hear how it goes. What

We had that for years, and no issues from a technical perspective. Internet
access was the same as any other wireless device, although we did block the
designed-for-private-networks things like SMB. These days that seems like
little motivation for the average student though (they'd rather use
Apple is battery-life obsessed. I wouldn't take their advice about anything
that affects network performance.
BTW, don’t interpret this as an opinion on the DTIM interval. I have an
opinion on that, but don’t know enough to share it publicly. It's just an
ad hominem attack.

I tried DTIM 3 (after reading that blog post), but it didn't help, the laptop's
wifi chipset still just went to sleep and missed packets. Plus, some vendors
(eg Meraki, Ruckus) don't let you change it anyway. One thing Ruckus does do is
broadcast to unicast conversion when an SSID has 5 or
There was some talk about this with IOS a while back. Something about Apple
wanting a longer dtim value (3 seems to be working for a lot of folks). Dtim
of 1 seemed to give some grief.

We’ve got a pure open SSID – but with a captive portal AUP acceptance page.
Keeps some of the devices off that either don’t have a browser or can’t click
on “Accept”. It ends up in our visitor VRF, which we treat devices as if they
are at Starbucks, etc., so cannot reach private devices
Is Cisco 11ac environment. The open SSID is straight to Internet, no campus
access. Also 1X SSID still in place for campus business. RF side really doesn’t
change much. The devices have always been there, just many of them unusable.
And we still draw the line on legacy data rate support.

But what's the penalty on non-Apple devices?

We have been doing open network with mac authentication for non-802.1X devices
for years.
We just block some things like our web site & course system that would not be
used by those devices anyway. This “encourages” people to use the secure 802.1X
network.
