   I take back what I said about getting a Linksys LAPAC1750 instead of LAPAC1200 if you need more channels. That model is no less limited in terms of available channels. It mystifies me that these business access points lack 2 entire 5 GHz bands that Asus' home routers handle without a hitch. Buying business access points instead of home routers hasn't paid any dividends yet. They have more advanced networking features, but I could've lived without those.

      How are you meant to use the full 80 MHz channel width at 5 GHz on these LAPAC1200 access points if have a building with more than one access point? The only way of getting non-overlapping channels with these is to reduce the bandwidth to 40 MHz.

      I should have read the data sheet more carefully, but to be honest, I took the tri-band functionality on the Asus routers I already had for granted, and assumed that every other 5 GHz WiFi radio was capable of it.
