    Pretty simple question: will ClientMatch only work if the client is 802.11ac?

    I might be wrong (nothing new) believe is a 6.3 feature

    That's what I'm thinking, but it wasn't clear from the videos I watched.  Shouldn't require 802.11ac APs then either, right?

    ClientMatch is a part of ARM 3.0 which is available in 6.3. As long as the AP is supported by the code, you should have ClientMatch functionality. (Pre-N APs will not support ClientMatch)

    It is a 6.3 feature, but it does not require 802.11ac APs.  This will work across all 802.11n capable APs as well.  There is no support for client match on legacy a/b/g APs (AP-65s, AP-70s,etc).
