We have disabled B for several years. But we did not disable 6 & 9 for G. We haven't seen any issues. Kindle Fire definitely works here.
I think the issue is related to the disable of 6 & 9. --- Dennis Xu Network Analyst, Computing and Communication Services University of Guelph 5198244120 x 56217 ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Watters" <john.watt...@ua.edu> To: WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU Sent: Tuesday, November 27, 2012 10:59:04 AM Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Turning off 802.11B and Android oddities The University of Alabama has had the B rates disabled for several years now (at least 3) and have had only one complaint. Our athletic ticketing folks were using B-only handheld ticket scanners for event admissions. I turned B back on for 3 months for just their APs until they could replace their units. No other problems have turned up. -jcw ------------------------------------- John Watters UA: OIT 205-348-3992 From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU] On Behalf Of Eric T. Barnett Sent: Tuesday, November 27, 2012 9:33 AM To: WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Turning off 802.11B and Android oddities I know that some devices can act strange when 802.11B is turned off (such as the Wii), but I was surprised when a student brought his Kindle Fire in yesterday. I disabled the 802.11B data rates last week (along with 6 & 9 on G). Anyone else have problems with early Androids?
