We will probably end most of the B rates at the end of this school year.
They have not been a problem since switching to Ruckus wireless. We get
a LOT of BYODs on campus, we support TVs, Game Consoles, wireless
printers, etc. Most of our slower B traffic has been Android devices.

We disabled all the b speeds several years ago. Had no complaints then and
continue to not have any.

Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Disabling 802.11b speeds
This has been discussed in the past, but it has been a long time.
We're at the point that we have to turn off the lower connection rates on our
campus. I'm curious what other schools have done and the positive/negative
results from the changes. We have disabled 1, 2, 5.5, and 11 Mbps in some of
our buildings with great success, but some might argue to just eliminate 1 & 2
Mbps rates. Also, I'd be interested to hear from schools that have not disabled
these rates and why not.
