Use the drop-down menu to choose percentages ranging from 5% to 75%.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This setting lets you set a gating factor for channel reassignment so that

 

 

 

 

 

the network is not continually disrupted for minimal gains in efficiency.

 

 

 

 

 

For example, if channel interference must be reduced by 75 percent and

 

 

 

 

the proposed channel assignments will only reduce interference by 30

 

 

 

 

 

percent, then channels will not be re-assigned. However; if you re-set the

 

 

 

 

minimal channel interference benefit to 25 percent and click "Update",

 

 

 

 

 

the proposed channel plan will be implemented and channels re-assigned

 

 

 

 

as needed.

A range of intervals is provided, from "1 Minute" to "6 Months". The

 

 

 

 

 

default is "1 hour" (channel usage re-assessed and the resulting channel

 

 

 

 

 

plan applied every hour).

 

 

 

 

 

Note: Keep in mind that every time the channel planner is triggered, the

 

 

 

 

AP’s operating channel may change and clients will have to re-associate.

 

 

 

 

 

Therefore, setting the planning interval for less than an hour can

 

 

 

 

 

destabilize wireless access for clients.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Update Advanced Settings

Click Update, under “Advanced settings”, to apply these settings.

Advanced settings will take affect when they are applied, and influence how automatic channel management is performed. (The new interference reduction minimum, scheduled tuning interval, channel set, and network busy settings will be taken into account for automated and manual updates.)
