Explanation

If multiple RAPs are to be deployed, the purpose for deploying these RAPs needs to be considered. If the RAPs are being deployed to provide hardware diversity, the additional RAPs should be deployed on the same channel as the primary RAP to minimize the convergence time in a scenario where the mesh transfers from one RAP to another. When planning RAP hardware diversity, remember the 32 MAPs per RAP limitation. If the additional RAPs are being deployed to primarily provide additional capacity, deploy the additional RAPs on a different channel to its neighboring RAPs to minimize the interference on the backhaul channels.
