During a post-installation survey of a retail facility's 2.4 GHz wireless infrastructure, a systems specialist discovers high frame retry rates caused by adjacent-channel interference. The site survey reveals that three neighboring access points are currently operating on channels 2, 5, and 8 with a 20 MHz channel width. Which channel configuration plan should the specialist implement to ensure that all three access points operate without adjacent-channel overlap?
- Channels 1, 6, and 11Cevap
- BChannels 1, 5, and 9
- CChannels 2, 6, and 10
- DChannels 3, 7, and 11
Cevap
Configuring Channels 1, 6, and 11 provides three distinct 20 MHz channels in the 2.4 GHz spectrum without adjacent-channel overlap.
In the 2.4 GHz band (operating from 2.400 GHz to 2.4835 GHz), channels are spaced 5 MHz apart, but a standard 802.11 channel consumes 20 MHz of bandwidth (22 MHz RF footprint). Consequently, a minimum of 25 MHz (5 channel numbers) of separation between center frequencies is required to prevent frequency overlap. The combination of Channels 1, 6, and 11 provides the maximum available three non-overlapping channels for multi-AP deployments in standard 1-11 channel regulatory domains.
