None so far - other than the 3 academic departments who work on the system boards that currently only support 2.4GHz. For them, we have turned it on only for the APs in the relevant areas (9 APs out of 519), and only for their department-specific SSID.
We made this change in conjunction with ditching the captive portal and whitelisted device RADIUS setup, and rolled out 802.1x. It was an ideal time to make the changes with new pushes toward improved security, and everyone out due to COVID-19. __________________________________ __________________________________ Fishel Erps, Sr. Network & Infrastructure Engineer School of Visual Arts 136 W 21st St., 8th Floor New York, NY, 10011 LL: 212-592-2416 C: 347-539-6380 E: [email protected] ___________________________________ On Wed, Aug 26, 2020 at 3:18 PM Peter P Morrissey < [email protected]> wrote: > Impressive.
