Hi cjoseph,
Was just reading your suggestion on high density wireless design to OP's auditorium design and noticed you've mentioned;
"you should have no more than 9 access points in the space, because there are no more than 9 non-overlapping channels in the 5ghz band at 20mhz."
Now I understand why you mentioned no more than 9 access points due to 9 being the max non-overlapping channels available in the 5GHz band.
My question is provided that this is a very high density area of a small space, would it be better to operate 9 APs on 20mhz or fewer APs with channel bonding?
My understanding is the faster the end user device is able to finish transmitting data to the AP the faster the next device can start transmitting which is related to the speed of the 802.11 protocol being used.
So is it better to have more lanes but slower speeds on all the lanes or is it better to have less lanes but faster speeds on each of the lanes?
