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 for “in flight” devices.

And how much blowback? Cheers, Jeff --- Jeffrey L.
