Richard,
We are a much smaller school with a deployment of 245 Meru AP 208s and
320s. By the end of the year we will be approaching a deployment of
around 300 APs. We have found the technology to be exceptional as well
as support. I agree that the few issues we have rarely make it past
1st level support.

Hello,
I have a question for other Universities who are using Meru wireless
802.11n networks. We are in the process of doing a Proof of Concept on
Meru’s technology of single cell architecture. We ran into a few
issues and I was wondering how other universities are dealing with
these kind of issues or maybe they didn’t experience any issues at all.
We noticed that clients with older drivers were unable to connect to
the Meru network but after updating the drivers it worked fine. For
example Intel 3945ABG chipset needed the 12.x driver to connect. So
the default driver in Microsoft Vista is out dated. We have about
40,000 students and they all have their own laptop. Does anyone had to
deal with this kind of problems? And how did you manage it in a large
environment?
Does anyone experience that Meru is very demanding on client
configuration and driver and hardware versions?
Thanks.
