A.4 Wireless LAN adapter channels
The IEEE 802.11b standard for Wireless LAN allocated the 2.4 GHz
frequency band into 14 overlapping operating channels. Each channel
corresponds to a different set of frequencies. The table below shows the
center frequencies of each channel.
The number of channels available for the wireless LAN adapter varies by
country/region. Refer to the table below to determine the number of
channels available in your location.
Country/Region (Regulating Body) Available Channels
Australia (ACA) Channels 1 to 13
Belgium (RTT&E/EMC/LVD) Channels 1 to 13
Bulgaria (RTT&E/EMC/LVD) Channels 1 to 13
Canada (CSA/cUL 950 3rd Edition) Channels 1 to 11
China (MII) Channels 1 to 11
Cyprus (RTT&E/EMC/LVD) Channels 1 to 13
Czech Republic (RTT&E/EMC/LVD) Channels 1 to 13
Denmark (RTT&E/EMC/LVD) Channels 1 to 13
Finland (RTT&E/EMC/LVD) Channels 1 to 13
France (RTT&E/EMC/LVD) Channels 1 to 13
Germany (RTT&E/EMC/LVD) Channels 1 to 13
Greece (RTT&E/EMC/LVD) Channels 1 to 13
Hong Kong (OFTA) Channels 1 to 13
Hungary (RTT&E/EMC/LVD) Channels 1 to 13
Iceland (RTT&E/EMC/LVD) Channels 1 to 13

If several Wi-Fi devices are operating in the same vicinity, the distance
between the center frequencies of channels used must be at least 25MHz
to avoid interference.
