You should not need to change the operating fre

quency (channel) unless you notice

interference problems, or are setting up the wireless access point near another wireless

access point. Observe the following guidelines:

• Wireless a

ccess points use a fixed channel. You can select a channel that provides

the least interference and best performance. In the United States and Canada,

11 channels are available.

• If

you are using multiple wireless access points, it is better if adjacent wireless access

points use different channels to reduce interference. The recommended channel

spacing between adjacent wireless access points is 5 channels (for example, use

channels 1 and 6, or 6 and 11).

• In

infrastructure mode, wireless stations normally scan all channels, looking for a

wireless access point. If more than one wireless access point can be used, the one

with the strongest signal is used. This can happen only when the wireless access

points use the same SSID. The WNAP320 wireless access point functions in

infrastructure mode by default.
