We are starting to move away from 802.11a since it doesn't support DFS channels with with our new 802.11ac Wave 2 rollout coming soon will be needed. Turning 802.11b down has helped quite a bit but we still see a large about of 802.11g traffic.

Or if your department has any defined. We don’t enforce any sort of minimum bar aside from -Your device needs to support 802.11a, g, n, or ac. 802.11b devices cannot successfully authenticate -Consistent 2.4GHz-only connectivity usually cannot be guaranteed in residence halls. At a glance, we’re usually only at about 0.3% 802.11g clients. Everyone else is a, n, or ac. Thank you! Matthew Hinson Supervisor, Network Operations “Have I not commanded you?
