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

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.

Hall Sent: Monday, June 20, 2016 11:50 AM To: WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] 802.11b data rates disabled? 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. -- Todd M.
