What is your reasoning behind not wanting 40 megahertz channels if you have 
plenty of overhead with your channel utilization?  People saying you should or 
should not do something without Gathering any type of metric worry me.

1.      Enable it in places to check for radar events.  If you get few, then 
yes.  Client devices are almost fully capable now.  Hidden SSID’s are the only 
issue.  Some clients don’t probe on DFS channels, and will only respond to 
beacons.  Make sure 2.4 is usable for the small number of incompatible devices.

2.      No.  Don’t even consider 40MHz unless you’re using almost all the DFS 
channels, but even then you’ll probably have to disable it in some high density 
areas.

Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Two RF Questions



Greetings,

I have two hopefully simple RF related questions:

1.  Should I enable the extended UNII-2 channels campus wide?

2.  Should I enable 40Mhz channel width campus wide?

In other words what are you doing on your campus and what is the "best practice?



Our wireless infrastructure:



3 Cisco 5508s running 8.2.141.0



20 - 3800 APs

368 - 3700 APs

414 - 3600 APs

8 - 3500 APs

7 - 1810 APs

32 - 1142 APs



Prime 3.1.0



Thanks for your input.

David
