Yes, I know. We still had some students using the Wii to stream Netflix. Maybe 
this fall, they will have new updated devices. :)

Really?

Nintendo dropped Wii & DS support & closed the online store in 2014.

We disabled the 11b rates last summer. For the most part, we didn't have too 
many complaints. The complaints that we received was from the students that own 
the legacy Wii. All though the devices support 11g, it must see the SSID 
broadcasted at a 11b (1mbps) rate in order to connect.  This was the only 
complaint. We no longer support the original Wii.

We also have institutional devices at that are older and only support 11b. For 
these devices, we simply left the 11b rates on for the APs in the area they 
connect. Thankfully, it's only one building. 


Thanks,

Do you have all of the 802.11b data rates disabled?  If so, how long have they 
been disabled?  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.
