num
Enter a valid channel for your regulatory region. This number should be an integer between 1 and 14. Recommended for ad-hoc network mode.
Any
Tells the MSS to set itself for the channel used by the strongest AP with the same ESSID. Recommended for infrastructure network mode.
If you enter a command that is not applicable to the 802.11 card currently in use, you will receive an Error message.
Sets the MSS operating frequency within the 2.4 GHz band allotted to wireless networking. A direct- sequence 802.11 network on one channel will affect reception on channels up to two numbers away. For best performance on collocated wireless networks, you should select channels that are at least five channels apart from each other. For example, three networks could be put on channels 1, 6, and 11 (depending on your regulatory region).
Any configuration changes you make with the above commands will not take place until you issue the Change 80211 Reset command.
