I disabled the 2.4 rates all the way up to 2.4GHz over spring break. It was much less catastrophic than I had imagined.
The only device that broke on my campus was the Nintendo Wii, which I knew would happen. I had some USB adapters at the ITS Help Desk in people still needed connectivity. Only 2 students took me up on it. Do you have a reporting engine (Prime Infrastructure/Airwave) that can tell you how many clients are b-only? (Note, the Wii doesn't show up no these reports, because it is .11g, but it won't work without 1Mbps/2Mbps) Good luck, Aaron Lamey Director, IT Infrastructure & Support Christian Brothers University -----Original Message----- From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Todd M.

If so, how long have they been disabled? Did you have many complaints when you disabled them? Were there any particular devices that could not connect as a result? I'm hoping this information will help us move towards disabling these old rates. Thank you for your feedback. -- Todd M.
