3.11.1 Wireless LAN Parameters

Channel

The range of radio frequencies used by IEEE 802.11b wireless devices is called a channel. You can choose the radio channel depending on your geographical area. Adjacent Access Points (APs) with overlapping coverage areas should use different channels to reduce crosstalk. Crosstalk occurs when the radio signals from access points overlap and interfere one another degrading performance.
