The actual chances of breaking gigabit even with Wave 2 is not realistic, especially for enterprise. <A href="http://marketing.ruckuswireless.com/acton/attachment/3040/f-0213/1/-/-/-/-/11ac%20WP.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://marketing.ruckuswireless.com/a...</A> Thu, 20 Nov 2014 19:08:58 GMT https://community.ruckuswireless.com/t5/Wireless-Questions-and-Best/Trunking-Both-AP-Ethernet-Ports-for-802-11ac/m-p/13531#M786 john_d 2014-11-20T19:08:58Z https://community.ruckuswireless.com/t5/Wireless-Questions-and-Best/Trunking-Both-AP-Ethernet-Ports-for-802-11ac/m-p/13532#M787 Excellent info.

It would still be good to have two uplinks for high availability however, and ideally two separate sources for PoE, as then access points could be uplinked to redundant switches and survive an outage from one of those.
