We are seeing many of the congestion issues of 2.4GHz ameliorating themselves as clients are self-selecting 5GHz. Especially in the higher density environments where the 2.4GHz congestion was extreme. On our campus, 5GHz now represents 80% of the data transferred (up from 28% six years ago), a

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 cou

I don’t think there is a way to get away from 2.4 yet in EDU. For example, while most would install high-density 5GHz in every residential room, it’s likely cost-prohibitive to accomplish the same in hallways and other areas that devices transit but don’t linger. As such, 2.4 is still important
