Of all the enterprise WLAN vendors, Aruba appears to be the most OK of the practice.

On average I see about 80-100 users using the wifi in the room. To load balance the wifi in the room I have setup 4 APs. Right now we use the 3 non-overlapping 2.4ghz channels, 1, 6, and 11. The 4 APs are line of sight with each. Do you think it would be a good idea to go to 4 channels instead 3 Ex: (1, 4, 8, 11) ---- Nicholas Urrea Information Technology UC Hastings College of the Law [EMAIL PROTECTED] x4718 ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.
