Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] 2.4 vs 5

[Casey Feskens]

We are currently using a 5GHz only SSID (as well as 2.4) and have been
trying to encourage students to use it. We recently conducted a survey of
wireless performance and asked questions about why people were using 2.4
networks vs. 5GHz. A surprising number of students replied that their
devices could not see the 5GHz SSID.
