We are trying to work with our campus store to make sure they do not stock
2.4 only devices. While this does not cover the majority who purchase
online or off site, it is one piece. This also goes along with purchasing
options for campus units so they do not do the same thing when purchasing
for staff.

We are embarking on a project to try to educate our user population on
the importance of having dual-band wireless adapters. We’ve had
documentation on our website where we let them know what the minimum
requirements should be, but we’ve seen that this has not been effective. We
have always supported both bands on our wireless network, but we have also
seen that there are still a lot of devices out there that only use 2.4. In
talking to some students, I find that most of them will go for the most
affordable laptop, and do make sure that their device has wireless, but
that does not necessarily mean that it will be dual band.
I wonder what you have done? Do you have information that you can share?
Thanks,
