Here’s our setup
Running 8.2.160.0 on a pair of 8540 in HA mode 796 1810w 472 3802i Mix of 1142, 702 totaling 220 that will soon be replace with 3802i Total AP’s will be close to 2015 when new wiring is pulled Home grown registration for one SSID that’s used for devices that won’t work on secure or web-auth networks I’m running Flexconnect on the wireless along with an Rlan for the wired ports for the 1810w’s (dorms) and local switching where applicable. So far, we have identified 5 bugs with the 160.0 code which Cisco is working on. They aren’t service impacting but more of a pain than anything. (Kernel panics and watchdog resets) We have identified the Lenovo Yoga series laptops (and other models from Best Buy) having issues with enterprise networks with no solution since the last Windows 10 update. If the users go an buy a small form factor wifi adapter, everything works. Without it, they aren’t able to connect to our secure network and open networks are slow. Dell laptops seem to be the most stable followed by Macbook Pro’s. We have already surpassed most connected clients from last year on the second day of classes this year. I’m seeing a LOT of wifi enabled TV’s, IoT devices (ugh), tablets, phones, smartwatches and wireless cameras/doorbells for rooms. Our biggest concern is the amount of wireless printers that have shown up. We don’t allow wireless printers on our network, but when trying to get the wireless cards shut off for each one is becoming a problem. If anyone is handling wireless printers differently, I’d be interested in talking offline with you. Thanks ---------------------------------- T.

It might be beneficial to share notes in case other schools are hitting common problems. I’m wondering how everyone who is in the thick of it is faring with back-to-school? On this end, we are doing OK halfway to our expected total daily peak clients (we’re at 15K now high water mark).
