Changing the Wireless Channel
There are a number of operating channels you can choose from. In the United
States, there are 11 channels. In the United Kingdom and most of Europe, there
are 13 channels. In a small number of other countries, there are other channel
requirements. Your WAP is configured to operate on the proper channels for the
country you reside in. The default channel is 11. The channel can be changed if
needed. If there are other wireless networks operating in your area, your network
should be set to operate on a channel that is different than the other wireless
networks. For best performance, use a channel that is at least five channels away
from the other wireless network. For instance, if another network is operating on
channel 11, then set your network to channel 6 or below. To change the
channel, select the channel from the drop-down list. Click “Apply Changes”. The
change is immediate.
