I believe in allowing the client to make the decision. Even with limiting the 
suppressed probe responses or deauthing; there can be times when a client could 
experience issues.

We allow 12, mandatory 18. Limit the transmit power on both radios. The issue I 
see with many sticky clients are that they look at RSSI and not retry, by 
lowering the power of your radio you are coaxing them with their natural 
mechanism.

I would be interested in how your testing is going and the procedures you are 
using. Since I see behaviors change so often between devices and drivers I have 
a hard time trusting the testing I do with what gear I have.

Hi,

Jeremy, we have not used probe suppression but Chris thanks for the opening on, 
disabling lower data rates.

This Cisco best practice, last updated Jan 2015, page 18 shows 2.5GHz disabled 
up to 12Mbps and 5GHz disabled up to 24Mbps

Curious if any have taken this many lower speeds off line?

We have disabled 1, 2, 5.5, and 11 on 2.5GHz.
Just started toying a little disabling 6 and 9 on 2.5 and 5GHz.

thanks!

Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Sticky Clients and Probe Suppression

Has anyone ever used probe suppression and force dissociation of clients at a 
particular RSS value?  This feature was just introduced and we have a lot of 
"sticky" clients that don't like to roam even though there are more desirable 
AP's in the area.

I have enabled it on a handful of AP's for testing, but would like to hear what 
others have experienced.

Thanks
