Curious if everyone is using 80mhz or 40mhz wide channels with 5Ghz in multiple AP environments.
As always, it depends. I normally use 40 MHz but it depends on environmental density. In a commercial environment or residential with nearby houses, channel overlap becomes an issue with the larger channels. 80 MHz is 6 non-overlapping channels versus 12 for 40 MHz. Propagation distances are much shorter at 5 GHz, but you can get co- or adjacent channel interference from nearby cells. Here’s a couple links that talk more about channel planning for 5 GHz.
