I'm seeing about 10% of our clients using 5 GHz in our ResHalls and that's about it. I don't have complete 5 GHz deployment across our campus though, and were I do I still don't see the numbers improving any.

Anyone happy with the numbers of 5ghz clients connecting to their networks, 
compared to 2.4ghz clients?

I'm only seeing around 25% of clients on 5ghz, despite having a decent density 
of dual radio 2.4/5ghz APs with band select switched on.

A reasonable percentage of the 5ghz clients are from laptops we loan out which 
we know connect to 5ghz most of the time.

Most clients seem to either not be 5ghz capable or their wireless NICs/drivers 
aren't choosing the 5ghz signal.

(we have 802.11n on both 2.4 and 5ghz, with 20mhz channels on 5ghz and use the 
same ssids on both bands)
