I was told to stay away from 8.9 since it is going to be a short lived release.

We looked at this as an option but with the 8540 and 8.9? code we found that most of the 802.11ax functions wont work. If you are considering this you may want to reach out to your SE for specifics of what works and what doesnt. I've never liked the idea of mixing models of aps in areas but have lucked out and not had to do it so not sure of all the cons. One thing I would be aware of is devices that hold on to newer protocol versus better signal/performance.

My biggest concern is having to move to new code, but I know we all need to upgrade at some point. Any experience good or bad is appreciated. -- Thanks, Jason Becker Network Engineer 3 4480 Clayton Ave, St. Louis, MO 63110 Mail stop 8218-45-1200 •: 314.935.5006 | Ë: 618.363.2900 | •:jbec...@wustl.edu<mailto:jbec...@wustl.edu> ________________________________ The materials in this message are private and may contain Protected Healthcare Information or other information of a sensitive nature.
