standard as SSID. Stations and APs in the same
group must use the same domain name.
Transmission Rate

Important:
In a multiple cell network topology, overlapping and/or adjacent cells using different
channels can operate simultaneously without interference if the frequency distance
between the center frequencies is at least 30MHz. For example channels 1, 7, and 13
are non-overlapping frequency channels.
