Hi,
Aironet IE contains information, such as the access point name, load, number of associated clients, and so on sent out by the access point in the beacon and probe responses of the WLAN. CCX clients use this information to choose the best access point with which to associate.
My recommandation is to disable it.

HI Ramesh,
Yes, Changing WLAN parameters while it is enabled then it will cause the WLAN to be disabled for a moment and thus may result in loss of connectivity for some clients.

Hi ,
So if Aironet IE is enabled will it cause disconnection issue for clients ?
Thanks

Can it possible cause issue with some devices. Sure it can. Something that you would need to test yourself in your environment. I typically leave it disabled especially on a guest network.

Hello,
Could we know why your recommendation is to disable it? It seems like the Aironet IE information helps to have better connections to the APs, doesn't it?
Kind regards.

@Luis Antonio Fernandez refer to

Our site installers sometimes ask us to turn it on when doing site surveys because it allows them to see the power level reported by the AP.
