You can employ what I call "psychological band steering". X University Fast X University (normal, slow, legacy, old etc.) Something like that. A friend of mine runs the Wi-Fi network for a VERY large retailer and they are 5 GHz only on their primary SSID. Jake makes a good point for sure if

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] [EXT] [WIRELESS-LAN] Wi-Fi in the Elevator Car

You can get stranded Ethernet cable that will handle more movement. 5 floors isn’t nearly at the limit of Cat5 so that isn’t a concern. Another option is to do an AP at the top of the shaft with a static mesh in the car. No wires. Nice and easy. GT On Tue, Nov 5, 2019 at 2:55 PM John Turner

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] In room WIFI - second example

I’m sure I’m probably going against the grain here, but if I had to choose, I’d buy used 11n APs from an enterprise manufacturer before I’d go 11ac from a “cheaper” manufacturer. Number one, virtually any environment you have will be served just fine with 11n. And to further make my point,

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] In room WIFI - second example

Maybe reach out to Ruckus. They sell a lot into hospitality and can get very aggressive with pricing for what you are looking to do. Tell them I sent you (used to work there). And then what will likely happen is that Aruba or Cisco will hate that you and then try to beat them on pricing. :-)

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: [WIRELESS-LAN] Beacon Intervals

Craig, Changing the data rate will only affect how YOU interfere with them, but not in reverse. When an AP (well, any Wi-Fi device) hears a Wi-Fi signal of any data rate it will defer (not transmit). I don’t know your Wi-Fi vendor but a trick to try is to reduce your AP receive sensitivity.

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Beacon Intervals

(80 MHz). Coupled with vendor RRM and dynamic channel-width selection, I’m hard pressed to see where co-channel interference is going to be an issue in 5GHz except in outliers such as stadium deployments. Jeff From: "wireless-lan@listserv.educause.edu" <WIRELESS-LAN@

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Beacon Intervals

There is a fine line here. Signal strength best practices can’t be arbitrarily increased just because 256 QAM requires it. Added signal strength is of course achieved with either increased Tx power or added access points, both of which will contribute to increased co-channel interference. An
