Command Usage
• The available channel settings are limited by local regulations, which
determine the number of channels that are available.
• When multiple access points are deployed in the same area, be sure
to choose a channel separated by at least five channels to avoid having
the channels interfere with each other. You can deploy up to three
access points in the same area (e.g., channels 1, 6, 11).
• For most wireless adapters, the channel for wireless clients is auto­
matically set to the same as that used by the access point to which it
is linked.
