Do they do 3x3 MIMO?
What is the best up/down throughput that has been achieved on them with channel
bonding?

Hi Pete,
They do not do 3x3. I don't know of any adapters that do besides the
Intel 5300.
I haven't done any extensive throughput testing with those adapters. In
terms of actual, real-world use though, they are performing fine. We
have a few dozen people using them without issues.

Matt,
If you are offering 5GHz in the res halls does that mean you are also
offering 5GHz in your academic buildings?
We are using AP-65's (a/b/g) in the academic buildings. We are
considering AP-125's for the res halls.
We have not enabled 802.11a on the AP-65's yet, mostly because we
Hi Mike,
We offer 5 and 2.4 everywhere, in our academic buildings and the dorms.
That was one benefit to upgrading our whole campus at once, we ended up
with the same dual-radio APs everywhere.
However, roaming between the two bands shouldn't be an issue for
clients. I see clients that
Thanks Matt,
I ordered a Dell that has one of those. Looking forward to testing it.
All of this confirms though that there is no compelling reason for us to move
to 802.11n. I was worried that I wasn't using the best equipment for the
testing that I've done thus far with a couple of vendors.
So, for anyone who is offering 802.1n is anyone putting bandwidth
restrictions for per-role or per-user?

Hi Pete - I'm newly independent from Cisco :-) and just thought I'd chime
in.
I agree there is little compelling today about N. However, it is within
today's technology horizon and the cost of design/site
surveys/installation/etc are a more substantial than the equipment itself.
If somebody is
troublemaker... I'm in hot water right now with Aruba for pointing out many of
these points. Surprisingly though, Cisco says mostly yeah... you're probably
right. Aruba wants to bring a team of engineers here to debate what real
world is, which indicates they have a lot more to lose than Cisco
Ya know... stinking web email client:(
This was supposed to go to Pete only, not the list. Sorry to all, and Aruba
especially- this was intended not to go the list.
Chagrin runneth over on my end.

Matt,
We have noticed many users not able to negotiate
802.11n rates based on the type of laptop that they get
when using the WPC600n. Our team has not investigated the
issue further yet but I suspect that the bus' speed of PCMCIA is the
issue.
Have you faced this? (express cards or USB2.0
we do, but for visitors only.
for all users:
Our wish list to Aruba includes a fair bandwidth request.
Instead of a permanent rule per user, it would be an automatic rule
that would kick in when too much load is on the AP.
QoS for 802.11n !
There is not point to restrict a user if the AP is not
We restrict on a per user basis as well. This is done in our pilot
project 11n roll-out in one of our grad residences. We restrict them to
4meg bi-directional throughput. The decision was made to give res. users
a similar service as to the 'best' they may experience with a broad-band
X2 to that! We'd love to be able to put an 80% loaded fair bandwidth
rule on our arubas...

No, we haven't seen that. Is there a particular laptop or PCMCIA
chipset you see this with? We are almost all IBM/Lenovo Thinkpads here.

Hello all,
I work for a K-12 school district with approx 2000 users that wants to
move to .1x with Freeradius for access control for all wired and
wireless users. Our target for implementation is early fall. I am
looking for best practices/how to's that I can use to make this a
smooth as
