We're a primarily Apple school, and I don't even have band select enabled and 81% of my clients are on 5GHz. Most of our SSIDs are on 5GHz and 2.4GHz, with the Guest SSID only on 2.4GHz in most places. We do have 1 AP per classroom (yes, I know, it made sense when iPads only had 20Mhz/1SS 802.11n). Which vendors offer 5GHz-only APs? Particularly with 802.11ac being 5GHz only and performing best at short ranges, it seems like a great way to provide fill-in coverage and performance, as well as staying within 803.3af. -- James Andrewartha Network & Projects Engineer Christ Church Grammar School Claremont, Western Australia Ph.
