IBSS Channel Selection
When communicating in a peer-to-peer network, you may specify a channel on
which you prefer communications to take place. To see the available channels,
click the up or down arrow or move the box in the scroll bar at the right of the
Channel Selection field. When the channel you want to set appears, click on the
channel to select it, and then click the Apply button.
Note that this is not necessarily the channel on which peer-to-peer
communications will be established. If the IBSS network names (SSID) are the
same for nodes in the peer-to-peer network but they have different preferred
channels, a network can still be established. In this case, if it cannot find a
network with the specified network name on the preferred channel, a station will
scan other channels until it finds a peer-to-peer network with the specified
network name on which to communicate.
If you specified Access Point as the network type (in the Configuration menu),
choosing a channel in this field has no effect until you change the network type to
Peer-to-Peer.
