[info-tech] Lightspeed 8.0
Have any of your guys using Lightspeed upgraded to 8.0. Just wondering how well it went and if you have any complications? Thanks Mitch Mueller
RE: [info-tech] Lightspeed 8.0
Upgrade went well, and we don't seem to have any issues. Take good notes on everything under Properties - Content Filter - Authentication Settings and Properties - Content Filter - Properties. Those settings seem to be set back to default. As always, make sure you perform their backup procedures, as I have had to go back and use that a couple of times. Had I not done that, life would have been bad!!!

I am looking for a district wireless solution that just works and does not require a lot of administrative time to administer. Don*t really want to attend school on regular bases to set it up and maintain it. Have looked at Xirrus and Aruba and unless you have plenty of time on your hands and just love complexity steer clear of Aruba. Xirrus is cool but their prices indicate that they know that. Any other ideas? Thanks, Tony Richardson, Network Administrator / Director of Technology Humboldt Community School District trichard...@humboldt.k12.ia.us
RE: [info-tech] Wireless
Here in Pocahontas we went with the Xirrus XN8 we have 7 stationed at the high school that support 250 HP minis and all of the teacher's tablets. I recently installed 3 in my elementary building. I haven't had a problem installing, configuring, or using the Xirrus arrays.

RE: [info-tech] Wireless
We have had Xirrus for about 2 years now and couldn't be more thrilled. The only possible problem we have had is we ignored their initial recommendations for a third array, so there are places that have spotty coverage right where we were told they would be.

We have a Xirrus deployment in our MS and will also be using them in our HS for our 1:1, no problems with them.

Re: [info-tech] Wireless
We chose Xirrus over Ruckus last year after comparing them for your new elementary, and we're happy with the Xirrus. Sarah Sarah M.
