We run arubas and don't have bandsteering turned on in most locations.
In locations with band steering off, we have almost no 5ghz usage. In
our new academic build, where I turned on band steering, I think we have
almost 4:1 in favor of 5ghz. (but most of those are probably faculty
apple or lenovo laptops that I know have 5ghz.)
I guess we should experiment with turning band steering on in more places.

is the pie graph of what we see on our campus with a/b/g/n pretty much

seeing also.

Do you all run the a/n and g/n bands on the same ssid? I see that Jen
does, I am just wondering if that is the most common way to use the
dual bands in same location.
Thank you.

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)
