Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] 5GHz Channel Width

We run 40mhz in 5ghz for all our ap's (around 4,000). We monitor channel utilization and interference but so far it looks fine. Our argument was 40 or 80 and we decided to play it safe and do just 40. > > > Hi All, > > > > I was just reading a blog article that heavily recommends *not* to use

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] 5GHz Channel Width

We’re running a 20MHz channel plan due to our AP density (one per classroom), over summer I’m going to look at enabling 40MHz in the less-dense non-teaching areas. Whenever I try out DFS channels they always get radared out within a day. While troubleshooting a performance issue recently I was

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Decent tools, on sale

A gentle caution about the Aircheck.  I love the product, but our gen 1 devices just took a major utility hit when we changed to a SHA-256 4K cert that the device couldn’t support.  Now we can’t use it for connectivity tests on our 1x SSID.  There’s a 2K key size limit on the gen 1 Airchecks.

20 in our dense spaces, 40 where it can be done safely- about 50/50. Lee Badman (mobile) On Nov 29, 2016, at 6:09 PM, Jason Cook > wrote: It all comes down to requirements & design, if you can have 0 channel overlap while using

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] 5GHz Channel Width

For those who are using only 20 MHz in the 5 GHz space, I’d be interested to know what your channel planning looks like. Thank you, Josh Heller Kutztown University From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU] On Behalf Of GT Hill

RE: 5GHz Channel Width

It all comes down to requirements & design, if you can have 0 channel overlap while using 40Mhz then go for it… This is likely to be quite a challenge in multi-floor environments. Using tools like Ekahau Site Survey and Airmagnet survey will help design and verify these installs. We went from

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] 5GHz Channel Width

I have seen real data where changing from 20/40 to 20 MHz only improved network congestion by 30+%. I would say based on data that I see, a default config of 20 MHz channelization is a good best practice with 40 MHz done strategically if necessary. Just my $.02. GT From: The EDUCAUSE

RE: 5GHz Channel Width

I have been working under this thought process also, that it is better to keep it at 20 MHz. I have made no effort to test at 40 or 80 MHz nor do I have any plans at this time. Don Sullivan Network Administrator 205-726-2111 From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] 5GHz Channel Width

Where we’ve carefully located APs, matched Tx power and available rates to the AP layout, and use DFS channels we’ve had no trouble using 40Mhz channels. Were we have a legacy layout without optimized RF settings we’ve achieved better results with 20Mhz layouts. You’re probably only forced

WiFi simple (but useful) tools

The first thing I do when I notice WiFi issues on my Windows laptop is to bring up the WiFi Status window on my wireless adapter. This tells me the signal quality, the speed, and the SSID I'm connected to. If I select details (Network Connection Details) I then get more info like IP address and
