We’ve got a new 5 Story Science building fully deployed with 515’s, so far so good. We had the same driver issue, Intel AC-7620 was the card in question. Semester is two weeks in and no complaints. Actual benefits, eh, I think I’ve seen two clients connect as WiFi6 (HE). J Hope to see more as clients become available. I like the new mounting system for the AP’s. We have one small building / isolated that we plan to drop a 555 in to see how it behaves.
The good news is that they work, so by deploying now you have a little more future proofing, ie, not buying older model AP’s. We did have a PoE problem with the AP’s and switches (Alcatel-Lucent), still under review, but we were able to mitigate it for now. We also moved to Aruba v8 (8.5.0.2) this summer, and let AirMatch choose 80 Mhz channels if it wanted too, which it did for a lot of the AP’s, that too has gone well. Keeping an eye on that one though.

There seem to be some driver compatibility issues. We have 2 IT buildings. I had an induvial able to connect and see SSIDs just fine in our building with 315s. When she came to the building with 515s, she saw nothing. I updated her drivers, and then everything worked. So just be aware you might see more of that. We were running 8.503 code (I think). Having users update their device drivers is on our standard troubleshooting script for when people call in trouble reports. It’s been solving problems for years. :) -- Julian Y.
