It should not be necessary to change the wireless channel unless you experience interference (shown by lost connections and/or slow data transfers). Should this happen, you may want to experiment with different channels to see which is the best. See the article on “Wireless Channels” available on the NETGEAR website. (A link to this article and other articles of interest can be found in Appendix B, “Related Documents.”). By default, the channel is set to Auto, where the wireless access point automatically selects the most optimal channel for you. When selecting or changing channels, some points to bear in mind:
–If using multiple access points, it is better if adjacent access points are manually set to different channels to reduce interference. The recommended channel spacing between adjacent access points is 8 or more channels (for example, use channels 36 and 44, or 44 and 52).
–In “Infrastructure” mode, wireless stations normally scan all channels, looking for an access point. If more than one access point can be used, the one with the strongest signal is used. This can only occur when the various access points are using the same SSID.
