It definatley helps if you have space/property. If you live in a relatively close density (apartment, zero lot line homes) it very well may not.

I have some rtsp cameras. To keep them from being dumb and randomly roaming to like aps (and overloading the antennas and causing breakups in the stream)I setup different SSIDs on each ap for them so I can control what ap the cameras use and prevent bad roaming decisions.

This also means I have an SSID on each non overlapping 2.4 GHz channel.

However I live on a couple acres. If I’m interfering you are trespassing.

I probably would take a different approach on a higher density area, such as getting an AP with 2 dual-port, dual-polarity antennas dedicated to 2.4GHz and sticking them all on the same AP dedicated to the task, also assuming i would need to cover fewer doors and RSSI wouldnt be an issue.
