Fundamentally the game hasn't changed that much since then: Newer hardware is a bit more robust. Centralized AP controllers are beguiling but have to be deployed with high availability in mind because putting all your eggs in a smaller number of baskets carriers some risk... If you can, deploy A to draw off some users from 2.4ghz. Design to keep the number of users per radio at 50 or less in the worst case.
