Wireless LAN channels
The IEEE 802.11b/g standard for wireless LAN allocated the 2.4 GHz frequency
band into 13 overlapping operating channels. Each channel corresponds to a
different set of frequencies. The table below shows the center frequencies of each
channel.
Channel Center Channel Center
Frequency Frequency
1 2.412 GHz 8 2.447 GHz
2 2.417 GHz 9 2.452 GHz
3 2.422 GHz 10 2.457 GHz
4 2.427 GHz 11 2.462 GHz
5 2.432 GHz 12 2.467 GHz
6 2.437 GHz 13 2.472 GHz
7 2.442 GHz 14 2.484 GHz

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.
