High-Density Wi-Fi Design Part 3 - WLAN Configuration Best Practices (VIDEO)

 This video explains the best practices for configuring a Wi-Fi network for high-density environments.

These include:

- Proper encryption required to use 802.11n high throughput data rates

- Proper use of Quality of Service (QoS) through Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM)

- Disabling lower data rates to maintain high performance

- Prioritizing key business applications over recreational applications

- Client rate-limiting to prevent "greedy" clients from hogging bandwidth

- The important role that bi-directional band steering plays in optimizing spectral use

- Load balancing clients based on airtime utilization on different channels to serve users where the most capacity exists

- Using airtime fairness to adequately handle a mixed-client environment

- Proper consideration of wired network resources, including switch port bandwidth, power over Ethernet, and Internet/WAN bandwidth

- Appropriately sizing IP subnets to account for device density and user mobility
