Hi Todd, Disabling 802.11b is not an option but a must nowadays. You get much better overall performance with all data traffic over OFDM. There's a lot of time (Airtime)that gets lot if you allow old legacy protocols.
We have had 802.11b off for over a year and nobody complains.

Hall Skickat: den 27 september 2012 14:55 Till: [email protected] Ämne: [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.
