In some situations lowering 2.4Ghz radios to lower powers or in some cases disabling 2.4 radios in some areas is required to lower the co-channel interference/overlap. Best of Luck, Chris Agreed. In high density environments, 80mhz (or worse, 160), will just cause too many problems. 40mhz is suitable for 95% of deployments in our testing, and allows for a good balance between capacity and speed. At your home, sure, 80mhz is great. 160mhz is pretty much LoS anyways, so unless you are standing in front of your AP...good luck. Automatic power reduction on 2.4 ghz is basically mandatory in any commercial deployment. You may have to even further town down the power on some noisy APs, and in dense environments, I would seriously recommend directional antennas and/or turning off the 2.4ghz band. In some of our properties, we disable every other 2.4 radio to prevent the band from being too congested. Even though the RF monitoring doesn't show it being too bad, because there are so few channels it can go from OK to terrible in a hurry.
