In our newly renovated residential hall, with dense 5 GHz coverage (basically every other room), I’m seeing:
89% 5GHz 11% 2.4GHz 49% of 5GHz clients are 802.11ac In areas where we don’t have the dense 5 GHz coverage, it looks more like this: 60% 5GHz 40% 2.4GHz 35% of 5GHz clients are 802.11ac Overall, 97% of the 2.4 population is 802.11n. The other 3% being G-only.
