So if you have a dense deployment of AP's, then leaving the lower rates enabled should not present an issue - at least I've not seen one. Additionally, as my campus is 75% Macintosh, they tend to connect at 5GHz, so I don't mind having the lower rates enabled in 2.4GHz to help out all the gaming devices and such. Jeff

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. -- Todd M.
