I recall someone floating this not too long ago, but can't recall the responses. Being an LWAPP environment (currently) and growing fast in AP numbers and overall density, I'm considering disabling 1 and 2 Mbps data rates globally. I did this in an under the radar test for a couple of months on some of our busiest APs with no ill effects noted and what I see as fewer weak clients trying to get on board busy cells. Has anyone else taken this step? Curious in general, and in LWAPP., and if there have been any ill effects noted. One concern/peeve I have is that in LWAPP its controller wide- if there is some compelling reason to change the data rate on just a few APs in one area, you have no choice but to do the same for all APs on the controller.
