It all depends on where the AP's are being deployed. Our residential halls (Well most of our building) are constructed of concrete block, steel, rebar, etc. and 5GHz doesn't make it very far. Even with an AP in every room/suite, there are enough non-overlapping 40MHz bonded channels that it's rare that two AP's on the same channel will see each other. Jeff

If you have a high AP density, having more 20 Mhz channels makes more sense. If you have less dense APs, the 40 Mhz channels is the better option.
