Auto Channel

 

The AP scans the area for other

 

 

Select

 

Access Points and selects a free or relatively

 

 

 

 

unused communication channel. This helps

 

 

 

 

prevent interference problems and increases

 

 

 

 

network performance. By default this feature

 

 

 

 

is enabled; see 802.11b Channel

 

 

 

 

Frequencies for a list of Channels. However,

 

 

 

 

if you are setting up a Wireless Distribution

 

 

 

 

System (WDS), it must be disabled. See

information.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Frequency

 

When Auto Channel Select is enabled, this

 

 

Channel

 

field is read-only and displays the

 

 

 

 

Access Point’s current operating channel.

 

 

 

 

When Auto Channel Select is disabled, you

 

 

 

 

can specify the Access Point’s operating

 

 

 

 

channel. If you decide to manually set the

 

 

 

 

unit’s channel, ensure that nearby devices do

 

 

 

 

not use the same frequency (unless you are

 

 

 

 

setting up a WDS). Available Channels vary

 

 

 

 

based on regulatory domain. See 802.11b
