Hello all,
we're beginning plans to upgrade our wireless infrastructure from 11n to
11ac, and I'm hoping that someone can chime in on their experience with mixed
capability buildings.
When we first went from 11a/b/g to 11n, we found that clients in buildings
with mixed capability APs had some odd roaming issues - and by "odd", I mean
utterly braindead. A fair number of clients would aggressively latch onto an
11n AP at -80, while ignoring an a/b/g AP in the same room at -50, with
predictably poor results. In the end, we had to ensure that buildings were
upgraded in full, rather than incrementally, to fix the complaints.
My question is, has anyone seen similar issues in buildings with a mix of 11ac
and 11n APs?
