Initially I thought it was a great idea. In practice students kept getting bounced because of width changes so I removed it an I am using 20Mhz channels only.

We have been advised to use 20Mhz as a campus wide setting, however DBS appears to offer significant benefits that would allow us to make better use of our 802.11ac AP's. We are currently running two 8540 WLC's with around 2,500 access points with a mix of 3600 - 3700 -3800 and 1810 access points.
