We have axed 1, 2, and 5.5. But... in one case had to locally re-enable for retail bar scanners, in another for ticket scanners, and just this week dealing with Vernier Labquest2 scientific probes that will only work if lowest rates are on.

Hall Sent: Thursday, September 27, 2012 8:55 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Disabling 802.11b speeds This has been discussed in the past, but it has been a long time. We're at the point that we have to turn off the lower connection rates on our campus. I'm curious what other schools have done and the positive/negative results from the changes. We have disabled 1, 2, 5.5, and 11 Mbps in some of our buildings with great success, but some might argue to just eliminate 1 & 2 Mbps rates. Also, I'd be interested to hear from schools that have not disabled these rates and why not. -- Todd M.
