You might try turning the broadcast power/coverage down a setting and see how it does. That's certainly a few AP's for 5000sqft.

I just checked my settings:
Office (WAC540) 2.4GHz - Auto(Full) 5GHz - Auto (Full)
Garage (WAC510) 2.4GHz - Auto (Quarter) 5GHz - Auto (Quarter)
Workroom (WAC510) 2.4GHz - Auto (Full) 5GHz - Auto (Quarter)
Family Rm (WAC510) 2.4GHz - Auto (Full) 5GHz - Auto (Full)
Bonus Rm (WAC510) 2.4GHz - Auto (Full) 5GHz - Auto (Full)
So are you suggesting to turn them down to manual Half, Quarter, Eighth, or Minimum?
I don't have one to play with but I think it has a coverage selection under the advanced settings, starts going over it on page 97/98 of manual.
