Auto Channel
Select
The AP scans the area for other
Access Points and selects a free or relatively
unused communication channel. This helps
prevent interference problems and increases
network performance. By default this feature
is enabled. Note that you cannot disable Auto
Channel Select for 802.11a products in
Europe (see Dynamic Frequency Selection
(DFS) for details). See 802.11a Channel
Frequencies for a list of Channels.

Channel
When Auto Channel Select is enabled, this
field is read-only and displays the
Access Point’s current operating Channel.
When Auto Channel Select is disabled, you
can specify the Access Point’s channel. If you
decide to manually set the unit’s Channel,
ensure that nearby devices do not use the
same frequency. Available Channels vary
based on regulatory domain. See 802.11a
Channel Frequencies. Note that you cannot
manually set the channel for 802.11a
products in Europe (see Dynamic Frequency
Selection (DFS) for details).
