Your mention of QAM peaks my interest. Have you disabled lower MCS index rates? I’ve often wondered if we disabled 18 and below but leave MCS 0-2 enabled, can clients use that lower rate on HT and VHT? This is included in both beacons and probe responses.
To the original topic, we have b disabled for at least 2 years. No issues or concerns. In fact, we only see about 5% of users on a/g. n is very prevalent now.

We've had b disabled for several years, and when we did a complete wireless replacement last year dropped rates below 24Mbps to get everything up to QAM. The only definite complaints I know about are the Wii users everyone else has mentioned. Eliminating the rates would have effectively shrunk cell size (indirectly the point - force a roam), but given the entire system was replaced as well we've just been addressing them as coverage issues (which we also knew existed before the swap) so can't quantify that impact.

Did you have many complaints when you disabled them? Were there any particular devices that could not connect as a result? I'm hoping this information will help us move towards disabling these old rates. Thank you for your feedback. -- Todd M.
