NXA-WAP250G 802.11b/g Wireless Access Point
Wireless VAP Settings - Channel Setting
The WAP-250G uses one radio channel in the 2.4 GHz band to communicate with its clients. The radio
channel may be set manually by the user or automatically by the system, which selects the channel with
the least radio interference (FIG. 32).
The items on this page include:
Auto Channel Selection: Enables the WAP-250G to automatically select an interference-free
radio channel (default: Enabled).
Radio Channel: The radio channel that the WAP-250G uses to communicate with wireless
clients. When multiple WAP-250Gs are deployed in the same area, set the channel on
neighboring WAP-250Gs at least five channels apart to avoid interference with each other.
For example, you can deploy up to three WAP-250Gs in the same area using channels 1, 6, 11.
Note that wireless clients automatically set the channel to the same as that used by the WAP-
250G to which it is linked (range = 1-11; default = 11).
FIG. 32 Wireless VAP 1 Setting - Channel Setting
If you experience poor performance, you may be encountering interference from
another wireless device. Try changing the channel, as this may eliminate interference
and increase performance. Channels 1, 6, and 11, as the three non-overlapping
channels in the 2.4 GHz band, are preferred. Using channels other than 1, 6, and 11
can cause degraded performance.
