Hi,
When you have APs too close to each other you could experience some performance issues even if the APs are on different channels since the channel side bands could still make an impact on the other channel and create radio congestion.
That's why is recommended to have APs 25-30 feet apart !

This is old school method.
An AP can broadcast up to 16 SSIDs.
The biggest disadvantage for this kind of scheme? COST.
