Manage the WiFi channels

By default, a WiFi channel is automatically assigned for a WiFi radio on the AP. The
channels that are available depend on the country and region that you selected for the
AP.
Note: You do not need to change the channel unless you experience interference,
which can be indicated by lost connections.
If you use multiple access points, you can reduce interference by selecting different
channels for adjacent access points. We recommend a channel spacing of four channels
between adjacent access points (for example, for 5 GHz radios, use channels 44 and
60, or 112 and 128).
WARNING: Make sure that the country is set to the location where the device is
operating (see Change the country and region of operation on page 66). You are
responsible for complying with the local, regional, and national regulations that are set
for channels, power levels, and frequency ranges.
