Syracuse- since 2002, probably an aggregate of 16-18K APs through life cycle replacements of Cisco variety (fat and thin). AP failures? Likely statistical zero, like maybe 10 through the years. (Excellent AP build offset by horrific code issues at times and NMS chronic pain.)
In our branches, Meraki APs total around 100, with oldest 35 6+ years in service. Zero AP failures.
