Steve,
Be sure to investigate the number 2 wireless vendor, Aruba Networks. We chose
them over Cisco several years ago and are very happy.
Aruba has a wide range of wireless products for every size business. (Their
Instant AP solution has a maximum of 16 APs before you need to upgrade.) They
If you're willing to consider Ubiquiti you should take a look at Cisco's
Meraki stuff. You may be able to get some trade-in value for your old Cisco
stuff to stay with Cisco. It might make replacing your whole wireless
network within reach.
We have a 450 AP Meraki installation that's great. We
I second the Meraki recommendation. But I would expand that to Aerohive and
AirTight as well. The cloud-managed stuff brings huge advantages in that
insanity of controller upgrades (and it is just that) and management server
care and feeding goes away. I run several Meraki sites, and can't say
I still get a kick out of this 3 years later, and it's appropriate for this
conversation, especially with the controller Brickwall comment.

What are folks thoughts that are running Cisco regarding these suggested
tweaks? I'm always hesitant to mess with anything that might fix one but break
another.

Steve,
From discussions that I have had with nsrc.org (the guys at University of
Oregon known for building networks in Africa),
they really enjoy Ubiquiti for small and mid size networks (they use point to
point and campus APs).
This said, you are managing a campus in the US and your
But... don't expect feature parity with the 5508.

Last year, we had Cisco Advanced Services do an audit and review. Based on
their recommendations, we've disabled the 1 Mbps and 2 Mbps, but left 5.5,
for now. The recommendation was to (and I quote) Low data rates (1, 2,

I have disabled all those rates coming up on 3 years now. I have same feelings
about exclusion stuff too. I need them on but sometimes it can cause clients
to get excluded for the wrong reasons. Example is ip theft exclusion but the
client has an ip of 0.0.0.0 the wlc sees this as ip theft

I sent you an off-list email, let me know if you didn't get it.

Absolutely drop the legacy rates, and stretching the auth timers is a safe bet.
The client exclusion thing is one of those topics that ticks me off a bit. We
need to use exclusion, or our auth servers get pounded by clients that are
either misconfigured or not yet configured right (or may have
Steve,
If you don't want to rip and replace, you may want to consider strategic
deployment of the new Cisco Catalyst 3850 switch - there is a wireless license
that turns it into a controller and will support up to 50 APs. Cisco recently
had a promotion where the AP license (25 I think) was

Have you ever opened an enhancement request for this? Again, I'm made a
lot of suggestions to the BU and I see those changes filter into the
code over time.

Yes- in as much as asking local SE's, mentioning it in TAC cases and and to
anyone at Cisco who will listen. But you never know if you've been heard, as
Cisco's process is pretty UDPish.

Hi,
A word of caution - we've found that the Realtek 8188/8191 etc devices do not
support connecting with only some 802.11b data rates enabled; it's either all
or nothing for these devices.
There is a driver update for the 8188CE but all other devices (81919SE, 8723AE
etc) are out of luck.
