 * Related to the previous question, is the Auto setting for AP transmit power reliable? Or will these have to be custom-tuned and statically set according to the heatmap?
 * Is one AP per office floor enough? What does the coverage map look like for 2.4GHz and 5Ghz?
-* Should we plan for mostly 5GHz in the office? We need to shut off the 2.4GHz radios on as many APs as possible to prevent further interference, but we would not want to force the 5GHz on anyone for something as trivial as guest wireless either.

-* Is the new MU-MIMO technology worth considering? The APs we will be getting are traditional, single-user MIMO. MU-MIMO is part of the 802.11ac Wave 2 standard, which was ratified just recently. The reason for this inquiry is that MU-MIMO is the first of the new 802.11 technologies that might actually benefit legacy clients.

The 7532 is Wave 1. The reason for this question is that MU-MIMO is the first of all the new 802.11n and 802.11ac technologies that might actually benefit legacy clients (like the RF guns).
 * How can you make the AP names permanent in the WiNG interface? They get reset upon a power cycle.
 * Does 802.11k and 802.11r affect legacy client performance? Is it worth turning these on to support newer devices on the guest network?

 * Antenna selection: The external variant of the 7532 AP will be purchased for the warehouse. RP-SMA antennas will need to be purchased - which types? omnidirectional/directional, gain etc.
 * Mounting hardware: pole drops + a wooden board for the DC? Office would probably be better off just wall/ceiling mounted. Want to avoid mounting on the ceiling tiles since those are finicky
