Channel: The Channel defines the portion of the radio spectrum that the radio uses
for transmitting and receiving. The range of channels and the default channel are
determined by the Mode of the radio interface and the country in which the APs
operate.
Power: The power level affects how far an AP broadcasts its RF signal. If the po wer
level is too low, wireless clients will not detect the signal or experience poor WLAN
performance. If the power level is too high, the RF signal might interfere with other
APs within range.

The controller contains a channel plan algorithm that automatically determines which
RF channels each AP should use to minimize RF interference. When you enable the
