We do run one SSID (abgn) to make it simpler for end users. Attached is the pie graph of what we see on our campus with a/b/g/n pretty much everywhere, about 8500 users. Looks like it matches what you guys are seeing also.

I see that Jen does, I am just wondering if that is the most common way to use the dual bands in same location. Thank you.

I'm only seeing around 25% of clients on 5ghz, despite having a decent density of dual radio 2.4/5ghz APs with band select switched on. A reasonable percentage of the 5ghz clients are from laptops we loan out which we know connect to 5ghz most of the time. Most clients seem to either not be 5ghz capable or their wireless NICs/drivers aren't choosing the 5ghz signal. (we have 802.11n on both 2.4 and 5ghz, with 20mhz channels on 5ghz and use the same ssids on both bands) Jen. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/. . ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.
