Hi,

We chose the 3Com, now H3C wx3012 controller and AP9552 accesspoints.

Initial issues where that blackberries could not connect to the wifi, =
the support initially was mediocre.

Do note that this was at the time that everything got sold to HP. And =
they did pick up the issue and came around with a fix in about a month =
time.

It's been working swell since then, I mean, the spelling errors in the =
UI I can live with. It's been stable so far. It was also by far the most =
reasonably priced. That counts for something.

Vlans, radius, captive portal etc, worked for me. Ui is good enough to =
use and diagnose clients. Wireless coverage, is ... well, it's wireless.

Reliable wireless isn't. Unless it's 5Ghz, and stopped by 1 floor or =
wall. I digress.

Regards,
