This is one reason why I don't think that game streaming will happen anytime soon if ever. The only place that you can possibly do this is a university because there is rarely if ever a bandwidth cap there. Every home user that I know of has a bandwidth cap that they would speed right past within

We just did a migration to the Aruba 535’s across campus (700+ APs) and have had some window intel wifi driver issues, but so far no issues with Apple devices. I think we have 1 or 2 11ax clients :) - Trevor Trevor Jennings Network Engineer Bowdoin College Ph: 207-725-3785 Cell:

Just be ready for some amount of backlash from an angry/ignorant parent. Every year (including yesterday) we have parents contact us saying we needed to remove all APs from bedrooms because of the health risk to the students living in those spaces. Thank you for the information, however. Any

We have over 100 515s and 535s deployed. I have disabled the HE (ax) radio for now due to legacy client issues. (intel) I’ve seen this with other ax ap vendors so not just aruba thing. Yes updating drivers has fixed but it’s really hard to instruct end user to go download drivers when

We don't get complaints about APs in the rooms, but I have thought about starting a rumor that the real danger is ad-hoc/wifi direct printers. After all, they're blasting at 20dbm out of the box compared to my whisper-quiet APs. Parents that care would either take those things back to Best Buy or

This was true of our Aerohive deployment as well. The Windows drivers were not compatible with 802.11ax, and SSIDs were invisible to them, and not able to be connected to even if specified. We were forced to revert our APs to 802.11ac mode because of the impact it had. The trouble is that even
