I highly recommend the product. We have a very complicated procedure for co=
nfiguring wireless manually and it was a constant struggle walking our user=
s through the process. Once we deployed XpressConnect the process was great=
ly simplified. It works very well for visitors as well because they have th=
e option to rollback the config after the need for access has passed. We us=
e it for Mac, PC, iPhone and Android. We also have an open SSID that is lim=
ited to and redirects to the XpressConnect page to get them connected to th=
e secure SSID.

Anne,
I cannot recommend Xpressconnect enough. It's a superb product. We use it f=
or both wired and wireless configurations for Windows and OS X systems. Sin=
ce rolling it out 3 years ago its made such a difference to connecting clie=
nts to our authenticated networks

If you have used this product, how do you like it? What kinds of problems =
do you run into? If a computer's wireless is having trouble, how often doe=
s a re-run of XpressConnect fix it?
Any and all feedback appreciated, on or off list!
Thanks,
Anne
