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.

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.

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?
