Cisco has a WLC config checker here. https://supportforums.cisco.com/document/7711/wlc-config-analyzer
Running our config through it revealed that we have a large amount of 2.4 radios at power level 7...which translates to 2 dBM...meaning your radios could just be WAY powered down. Make sure you have no output to the WLC console and then run "config paging disable" and then "show run-config". Dump all that output into the analyzer.
