UNII3 on MR46 in UK

[MAzad]

Hi 

I have a client who has a high-density office environment with a lot of users and a lot of APs.

They frequently face DFS events at the site due to which APs often switch to non-DFS channels.

This results in co-channel interference because of having multiple APs on same non-DFS channels e.g channel 40 or 44.

We are exploring the option of enabling UNII3 for them - they have MR46 running on MR30.6 release.

If we enable UNII3 range (considering they are in UK), will this allow them to use those channels too?

When i see this for one of my other clients who have many smaller offices, I see their APs never choosing a channel from UNII3 range although it is selected.

Thanks,

Mariam

I do not have a solution, but we have some larger offices in the UK with UNII3 enabled in the channel set and I have never seen them actually been used.

Same here, we have UNII3 enabled on a load of CW9166s with dual 5GHz radios at a large site and indeed they never seem to select the UNII3 channels unless manually changed to them.
