Mostly defaults, but the defaults also change sometimes with the semi-frequent code upgrades. No disabled rates yet, but we may be getting closer to being able to entertain that as we are seeing our 11b devices drop to under 3% of all clients.

Lee, How is your LWAPP network configured for these hogh-density areas? Do you have everything set to defaults? Do you disable 1,2,5.5MBps data rates? Do you tweak any of the RRM settings like DCA refresh interval or power thresholds? -- Earl Barfield -- Academic & Research Tech / Information Technology Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta Georgia, 30332 Internet: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.
