Frequency Range
several WLANs are operated within a small space, a dis-
tance of at least five channels should be left empty
between each two channels used. For instance, if
channel 1 is selected for one WLAN, the channels 6
through 13 can be selected for a second WLAN. This main-
tains the minimum distance between channels.
Should interference in a WLAN persist, the first step
should be to select a different channel. If your WLAN ac-
cess point is equipped with an autochannel function, you
can automatically have it search for the WLAN channel in
your frequency range that is subject to the least interfer-
ence. For more instructions, see the section “WLAN Con-
nection Is Not Established” from page 36.
