Hello,
A lot have been said about about letting the WLC set the channels for the AP's, in fact many so called "best practices" states that we should let the WLC do the channel assignment.
In my experience I think that this is not true, i have seen many sites where the channels are set to automatic and let me tell you, the air quality is horrible.
Yes I understand that RRM have come a long way...but what happens in environements where a customer have a mix of models, for example an office with a mix of 3502's and 3702's? how will the WLC handle this setup? and most importantly a place where it has a lot of bluetooth traffic.?
I think if the air is clean, a place where there is no third party tenants above or under your site meaning an office building and you know the behaviour of your users, then perhaps letting the WLC do the automatic channel selection may work otherwise i think it will not do any good.
Suggestions or comments? I would love to get some feedback. Thanks!
