We currently have 4 GLC-T connecting to the WLC5508. However, I still feeling the wireless VLAN is a tab slow while we have all the users on. Do I need to add more GLC-T?
Currently environment:
1000-1500 devices connecting to 55 AP. AP are 35 3505E, 10 2702I.
I really doubt that you need to add more. Have you checked how many clients are connecting on each AP or how many clients are connected via 2.4ghz vs 5ghz? That is where you should start first to reduce sluggishness.
Thanks for your quick response. Just don't know whether this will improve our Wi-Fi performance. Since 5508 hardware wise can support up to 500 AP, I thought we would never use 8 uplinks. Can you point me to the right direction how to check if the physical interface is the limit.

I have several 5508 and I've got MORE APs and users than this. I've also gone through every firmware Cisco has published. The only time I've seen sluggish performance (GUI & CLI) was using 7.X.X.X firmware.

Sorry for the late reply. I believe I have found the issue. There is something to do with the core switch. I have made some changes and inter VLAN speed improved.
