in my apartment complex they actually had some people from the ISP come around to everyone and tell them what channels to use and probably turn the power down to a minimum because 2.4 GHz was getting pretty crowded

i keep my 2.4 GHz on at minimum power since the kindle can't do 5 GHz, but separate SSIDs since a lot of devices are too stupid to work out that just because the 2.4 GHz AP is stronger doesn't mean it'll go faster

my friend's apartment has so many wifi access points i can't even get 5 Ghz to be useable there

his router is in the living room and it can't reach the far back bedroom

all these 802.11ac gateways now are ruining the 5 ghz band
