If you want to use the 5GHz frequency, all wireless client adapters must support 5GHz.
Note:
9.7.4 Selecting a Wireless Channel
You may need to change the wireless channel on which the DDW366 operates when you
are in computing, test, and other environments where several wireless access points may
be operating in the 2.4GHz range.
In some cases, you may want to segment your wireless traffic where a group of devices
operates on one channel and another group operates on another channel, and so on. This
is done by configuring the channel on each wireless access point individually (if you have
multiples). If you have control over only one wireless device in an environment where
there may be several, you can change the wireless channel on your device to one that is
not heavily used.
Note
To change the wireless broadcast channel, refer to
page 67.
2.4GHz Channels
The following diagram displays the 2.4GHz channels available in the Americas. Each
available channel is 22MHz wide. Since channels overlap, it is best to choose channels
that have the least overlap (typically 1, 6, and 11 in the Americas, and 1, 5, 9, and 13 in
Europe). Overlapping channels can cause wireless network performance issues.

2.4GHz
In the USA, channels 1-11 are used. There
are 3 non-overlapping channels (1, 6, and
11). Auto channel should be selected to
ensure that the channel with the least
interference is used.
802.11b,g,n
Wider range
Higher, as many wireless devices such as
cordless phones, microwave ovens, and
computers use the 2.4GHz frequency.
Recommended for simple Internet
browsing and email, as these applications
don't take too much bandwidth and work
fine at a greater distance.

5GHz
23 non-overlapping channels.
802.11a,n
Shorter Range
Lower chance of picking up interference
because fewer types of wireless devices
use the 5GHz frequency.
Recommended for applications that
require uninterrupted throughput, like
media streaming. The wider spectrum
delivers better performance.
