I get the speeds and feeds argument but I’m having a hard time justifying the added expense for this type of deployment scenario.
Double occupancy dorm rooms AP’s deployed every other room Single Cat6 cable to each AP If a 32x or 33x could reduce my overall AP count then that would be a consideration (because I have a lot of wiring to do) but it’s been my experience that is not the case.

But it is only 2SS on 2.4GHz. 325 has 2nd Ethernet port, full spatial streams in 2.4GHz, 3MU streams, and does 80MHz only. 315 is single Ethernet, 2SS in 2.4GHz, 4MU streams and does 160, but drops to 2SS in 5GHz @160. The 330 and 310 are the 2nd gen W2 chips from QCA which is why they get the 4th MU stream. I can't comment on CPU.

I can’t see using it, but if you can than this is the AP for you. -330 has switchable antenna polarization, which should allow better H-plane coverage when wall-mounting the AP. I haven’t tested this to see how well it works, but a bracket to wall-mount an AP while maintaining its horizontal orientation is pretty inexpensive. Traditionally, each higher Aruba AP series also has more memory, and often a better processor, to ensure adequate performance in the densest users environment. I recently asked my VAR about how the 320’s and 330’s compare in this way, but haven’t heard back from them yet. Anybody know?
