In WLC 5508 running 7.0.98.0 I notice the default is enabled for WLC> Wireless > 802.11b/g/n > 802.11n (2.4 GHz) High Throughput. This would mean a 802.11b/g device could use 2 channels for bonding and higher throughput.
Why is the default enabled? With only 3 non-overlapping 2.4Ghz channels why would I want this enabled? Wouldn't it contribute to 2.4GHz pollution?
I run 802.11n in the 5GHz space all the time, but I've never thought it was a good idea in the 2.4GHz band. Am I wrong? What is the thought behind defaulting it to enabled? I checked the manual for 7x and it says default is enabled.
What is best practice for 802.11n in 2.4GHz space?
