An IT technician is setting up three wireless access points in a small office to ensure maximum coverage and performance. All access points are using the 2.4GHz band. What channel selection would be optimal to minimize interference?
In the 2.4GHz band, channels 1, 6, and 11 are widely recognized as non-overlapping channels. Selecting these channels for each access point ensures that their frequencies do not interfere with each other, providing optimal wireless performance. While channels 2 and 3 are technically within the range, they overlap with channels 1 and 6 respectively, which would lead to interference and degraded network performance.
