Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Deploying 802.11a alongside b/g


Hi all,

We are getting ready to deploy our first a/b/g access points soon and (eventually) want to take advantage of the 802.11a radios. Has anyone doing the same run into problems or special consideration that must be minded when running 'a' and 'b/g' side-by-side? On one school's wireless site I found mention of a problem where workstations with 'a/b/g' cards will always select the 'b/g' network over the 'a' network if both use the same SSID. The way they overcame it was by giving the 'a' network a new SSID. Has anyone else had this problem or found a different way to overcome it?

Thanks,
Chris
