What are folks doing with N aps 2.4 ghz and zigbee?
According to ref 1 you shouldn't even deploy 2 N type aps on the same network if set to 40 mghz bandwidth since it doesn't allow for minimum desired channel separation but if you do anyway and use ch 1 & 11 for a two AP deployment that covers all the zigbee range including ch 25/26. So what are folks doing? Just using 20 mghz setting instead and forego the benefits of N's wider bandwidth.
So far the N's I've installed have all been set to 20 mghz since two APs haven't been enough but in a restaurant I'm working on two would be perfect so I figure I'd set them to 40 mghz even despite of ref 1 but now what to do about zigbee? Hmmm? Go back to 20 mghz?
No wifi controllers, no virtual cells and no dual band APs.
