Hello All. Asking all Network Engineers especially in the Wireless Field.
From my observations in most places,eg restaurants,coffee shops etc,most of the Access Points in use are 2.4GHz AP.Now we can all agree that 2.4Ghz spectrum is usually fully congested,hence sometimes even the experience becomes bad for people. I see most establishments are either using TP-Links,Ubiquiti Nanostations or Unifi and others rely on the ISP provided router. An equipment like Unifi tends to start degrading after reaching around 40 users. Now with the way the trend is going,most devices are now even coming with dual band chipsets eg iphones and the like.
My question to the forum is.
1) Why don't establishments want to put dual-band APs? 2) is their a good dual-band AP that somebody can recommend?
I know equipments like Ruckus and Xirrus can get the job done..but we all know that few companies will cough up large amounts of cash for just an AP.
what are your thoughts?
Regards Cynthia.
