Some spots in the building MAY not have as much coverage as we like. (not many places).</P><P></P><P>The phones are running 3.02 firmware.</P><P>EAP-FAST auth against ACSv4.0</P><P></P><P>Currently we have all data-rates below 11mbs disabled. Would enabling 5.5mbs increase the range of these phones? What are the adverse affects by doing this? We will soon be adding and possibly replacing these with the 7921Gs.</P><P></P><P></P><P>TIA</P><P></P><P></P><P></P> Sat, 03 Jul 2021 22:11:29 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/wireless/7920s-increasing-coverage/m-p/914005#M189180 damico_nick 2021-07-03T22:11:29Z Re: 7920s - Increasing coverage https://community.cisco.com/t5/wireless/7920s-increasing-coverage/m-p/914006#M189181 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>The 7920 doesn't downshift rates for retransmissions.
