Deploying 802.11n requires careful planning. Swapping each legacy AP with an 802.11n AP may not be necessary or in fact may even be detrimental due to increased contention or interference among your APs, thanks to the better coverage range of 802.11n APs. To get improvement in capacity, you should also upgrade your clients to 802.11n.
