between 1 and 11 in the US and Canada, and between 1 and 13 for Europe and Australia.
– If using multiple access points, it is better if adjacent access points use different
channels to reduce interference. The recommended channel spacing between adjacent
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 an

data rates supported are: 1 Mbps, 2 Mbps, 5.5 Mbps, 6 Mbps, 9 Mbps, 11 Mbps, 12 Mbps,
