We are experiencing similar issues, but with other models and 2.4GHz as well.  
We just upgraded to version 8.5.161.0 and it didn't resolve the issue.  We 
currently have a TAC case open to see if it is a bug or can be resolved.

Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] model 2800 AP with (Radio Role Assignment = Auto), 5Ghz 
on same channel ?

This email originated from outside ECU.

If this is a known reported bug already, then pardon me, otherwise this is a 
poll to see it anyone else has this issue ...

Anyone using the 2802i AP, and on the "slot 0" XOR interface, if you have it 
set to  (Radio Role Assignment = Auto) ... can you check to see if the 
controller is setting the 5GHz channel of these APs, to all the same channel ? 
(Sometimes they are all set to 36, sometimes it's 149.) Our 8540 WLC is at 
release 8.5.160.0.

It's as easy workaround to change the Radio Role Assignment to Manual/(Client 
Serving) and then decide what band (2.4Ghz/5Ghz) is more appropriate. After 
doing so, the controller usually makes better channel assignment decisions.

In some cases, one may want to make this judgement call (to do a Manual role 
assignment), based on design factors such as "we already have enough 2.4Ghz 
radios in this space." However, the use of the Auto Assignment role (letting 
the controller do the "driving", with FRA - Flexible Radio Assignment), may 
also be desirable.
