Some 802.11n connections fail

I have a policy to disable wireless cards (identified by device id) when a ethernet connection is made.

 

I'm have a handful of users report the wireless card going up and down when they attempt to connect to a 802.11n network at home.  (no commonality among AP brand).   When the connect to the wireless at work (only 802.11g) they are fine.

 

any ideas?

If the user disables N on the router and uses only G, he is able to connect.  He has a Netgear WNR2000.

 

If the user stops SEP11s services he is able to connect.  

 

There are users with N that are fine.  I think they have D-Link.

 

User wont loan us the AP even just for the day, so I"m checking to see if the wireless group at work can hook me up or if we need to buy our own.

I read the release notes for MR4.  Looks like this is fixed.

 

haven't tried it yet (on vacation this week), but looks like a fix is at hand.
