Yep, 2MBps is what they need. We advertise 2 as a basic rate, but disable it as a transmit rate in our Aruba config. The Wii's seem to work fine with this config. We haven't had any complaints of any older Wii's not working at the least.

That was last year so maybe the wii has improved. I re-enabled 1,2 and the wii started working. On Thu, Sep 27, 2012 at 8:54 AM, Todd M.

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.
