Hello I have just migrated approx. 50 access points to 5Ghz only and shut down 2.4Ghz. The reason was to avoid the high levels of 2.4Ghz interference we had at our sites from competing SSIDs.
I was totally expecting to see drop in RSSI due to the reduced physical range of 5Ghz compared to 2.4Ghz, however to my surprise, my RSSI levels for clients actually generally seemed to improve by a small margin. I certainly did not see any reduction in signal strength the the ZoneDirector RSSI indicators for connected clients.
I was wondering how this could be ?
