Disadvantages of ChannelFly
Compared to Background Scanning, ChannelFly takes considerably longer for the network to
settle down. If you will be adding and removing APs to your network frequently, Background
Scanning may be preferable. Additionally, if you have clients that do not support the 802.11h
standard, ChannelFly may cause significant connectivity issues during the initial capacity
assessment stage.
You can enable/disable ChannelFly per band. If you have 2.4 GHz clients that do not support
802.11h, Ruckus recommends disabling ChannelFly for 2.4 GHz but leaving it enabled for the
5 GHz band.
