We have a brand new deployment of 49 single radio AP-93H APs in a long maze of a building with lots of 90 degree turns. These APs are currently all using 2.4GHz and can see each other really well.
Our sales engineer insists that ARM is smart enough to move some of these APs over to 5GHz but I've been unable to get this to happen. Both the 802.11a and 802.11g ARM profiles for these APs are both set to multi-band assignment and multi-band scanning. I've played around with min TX power, Ideal Coverage Index and Acceptable Coverage Index settings on both profiles and Client Aware is off on both.
I can't get any AP to switch to 5 GHz via ARM.
Quite a few APs look like this:
AP-ch-249-ap-93h:xxxx:11:18:20.5-Edge:disable : Client Density:0

ch-150-ap-93h xxxx 13 6/9 0
ch-263-ap-93h xxxx 15 1/9 0
ch-250-ap-93h xxxx 13 1/9 0
The prefered behavior would be for some APs to be moved to 5 GHz and for the remaining on 2.4 GHz to be able to increase their power I'd assume.
Does anyone have any suggestions on why this particular AP isn't being moved to 5 GHz by ARM? I'm running 6.1.3.1.
Thanks.
