•
Try to leverage 5 GHz for more and cleaner channels / spectrum.
• Try to create 10 – 20% cell overlap for optimized roaming and location calculations / transactions.
•
Consider separate SSIDs for Corporate and Guest Access with Guest being Rate Limited.
•
Enable band steering, so that the dual band clients are motivated to use 5 GHz to avoid slower 2.4 GHz channels.
•
Use Category 5E or better for Gigabit Ethernet or mGig.
• Some clients (especially older ones) do not support the UNII-2 extended client channels 100 – 140. So, if you have lots of older
clients, you may need to disable them in the DCA channel list.
Clients with later chipsets (especially later 802.11ac clients) should support extended UNII-2 channels.Note
The following lists the Wi-Fi signal strength guidelines:
•
-65 to -67 = Data, Voice, Video, Location, High Density
•
1 access point per 2,500 square feet / every 50 feet
•
-68 to -69 = Data, Voice, Multicast and Unicast Video, Location
•
-70 to -71 = Data, Unicast Video
•
-72 or greater = Data only
