For our campus, the difference between .11n and .11ac lags behind the speed
at which density has increased.
That is to say, it's pointless to say we had 30 clients working fine on
.11n in this much space and now we're going to 30 clients on .11ac in the
same area, because that's almost never the c
If it’s a coverage-based design, all of your gains in 11ac are in 5GHz, so your
performance gains have a lot to do with density i.e. if the WAPs are still
installed in hallways you may not see the gains you are expecting. If you’re
making the jump to 11ac it’s best to redesign around performance
We are upgrading from 802.11n to 802.11ac and have increased our AP count by
25%-33% to move from coverage to density. We are moving to Aruba, ripping out
our old gear and we have seen big improvements in bandwidth in our expanded and
upgraded buildings. 1:1 replacements are sufficient for space
