However, keep in mind that this was true for the main ESSID "ripemtg" this year too: People with devices that didn't support 5GHz had to connect to the secondary ESSID. I think we could very well do the same with IPv4 as with 2.4GHz; take away backwards compatibility for both 2.4GHz and IPv4 on the main "ripemtg" ESSID, but keep a "ripemtg-legacy" or something like that available for devices that requires the presence of either 2.4GHz and/or IPv4. We wouldn't be the first conference to do so, either: https://fosdem.org/2014/news/2014-02-01-pushing-ipv6/ Tore
