Looking for suggestions on the best high density AP's for a school hallway setting.

CW9166 has the most radios for a high density AP, you can have two set to 5GHz so twice as many clients. The CW range is also the future path for all Meraki APs.

I think the most important thing than the model is the definition of a good design. Generally an HDX environment brings some challenges.

If you don't have experience with the topic, the ideal is to hire a specialized company.

I am not a Cisco employee. My suggestions are based on documentation of Meraki best practices and day-to-day experience.

Please, if this post was useful, leave your kudos and mark it as solved.

Higher spec models are the way to go but as mentioned already get a site survey done. Simply blasting AP's on full power isn't the way to go as you are likely to get a ton of overlap and end up with large amounts of interference and an overall bad time.
