Mesh Client Access

[aous.salloum]

Hi Guys,

I am planning to enable client access on the mesh radio ( 5 Ghz) for 1550 Access Points but I’m looking to get feedback from anyone who’s implemented it. Any caveats, ‘gotchas’ or other things I should know about?

Thanks

If you don't have much traffic, then you should be okay.  However, I don't think you will know how the performance would be if you have an outdoor guest network.  If you have only one hop to the RAP, then I would saw go give it a try, if you have multiple hops, then I would not suggest it unless you don't expect to have much client traffic.
