I’d also suggest using 40 MHz channels in 2.4 GHz, because then the jigabits get there faster in luxuriously wide fastlanes. From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Community Group Listserv On Behalf Of Johnson, Christopher Sent: Wednesday, August 26, 2020 1:57 PM To: WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE

Now be honest. If Phase 1 was “Use all 11 Channels” – was Phase 2 - Disable any “multicast/broadcast filtering mechanisms” 😉 Sorry. Just popped in there since I just finished writing a message about why “unfiltered multicast/broadcast” traffic is bad mojo – and why can’t just “turn it on”. 😊 Ch

The four-channel plan made sense when AP density was lower and before OFDM (back when spectral density graphs had long tails.) I'm not sure if it was every really better than a 3-channel plan, but there was a case for it. Even if it was better for 802.11b, 802.11g and the iPhone made it obsole

I echo Seth's statement. Utilize the 5GHz radio for dense deployments, and shut down the 2.4GHz radios on AP's where needed, and utilize the 3 channel plan. Thanks, Matt Wierzgac Engineering Manager phone: 248-378-1125 mobile: 248-504-8096 [facebook icon]

I briefly tried the 4 channel (1,4,7,11) plan and it was awful. I have found shutting off the 2.4 radio in dense environments works in a 3 channel plan. Seth Bean Administrator of Networks and Telecommunications MCLA APA Chapter President Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts 413.662.5022 413.663
