If the system is designed for performance and redundant coverage between AP's in the 5 GHz band, it's unlikely that the ratio of students per AP will even come into play except in your more public/general spaces e.g. living room. In our newer residential halls, our design results in there being no more than six users per dual-band AP. Our residents tend to have at least three devices now, so it's really 18 devices per AP. best, Jeff

If you have such a number, how do you count dual-band AP's? They're doing more than a 2.4GHz AP, but not quite as much as two AP's. Then one last related question... Would anyone know their relative mix of 2.4GHz vs. 5GHz connections in residence halls?
