My understanding is that the most recent NANOG had issues with clients
picking channels sequentially vs by signal strength. There may have
been other issues but when all devices use 149 because that's the
first they can and they get link that's not good.

we're lucky those mean vicious bad clients don't also come to ietf,
wwdc, crisco live, ...  oh wait ...

you are blaming the customer as if you worked for a telco.  oh wait ...

If people know of tricks to solve this when there are 600-1000 devices
per room i am certain the NANOG eng team would love to know about it.

clue: with 600-1000 geeks there are gonna be 2k-4k devices.
