Turning Off 2.4GHz radio
Turning Off 2.4GHz radio
11-09-2017 11:33 AM
Hello,
We are small liberal art college with roughly 1,400 students and 300 faculty. The majority of our campus is outfitted with 200 series AC devices. I am noticing that channel 11 gets pounded throughout our campus from those that are still using the 2.4 radio.
I am thinking about turning the 2.4 radio off to see how, or if it improves the wireless environment. All of our 200 series APs are densly populated, so I am not worried about through put if we turn the 2.4 radio off.
Any thoughts.

You would typically first reduce the transmit power on the 2.4ghz band to something like 9 or 6 so that devices do not prefer it, first. If you turn off 2.4ghz, none of the devices that are 2.4ghz only will work.

Can I turn the power down on the 2.4 with out affecting ARM? Is there an easy way of doing this?

You can set the max and min tx-power in the arm-profile. Just check to make sure it is not in use by both radio profiles first.
If my post is helpful please give kudos, or mark as solved if it answers your post.
