Hi Ron, We moved from AOS6 to AOS8 over the summer. Upon students' return we noticed what we felt to be degraded signal strength and degraded device performance. We will be disabling this HE setting on all our radio profiles in the coming days. We had confirmation for our Aruba SE and from a peer college that we should go ahead and disable this setting.
