Hi GT:

You said: "It is better to have AP's on the same channel than to have them 2 or 3 channels apart."

Not all IEEE 802.11 2.4 GHz channel overlaps are of equal interference value, so why not take the channel with the least incoming RF energy over the threshold for deferring transmission?

For instance an access point initializing its BSS may discover a weak use of channel 1 from a far away BSS and a strong use of channels 6 and 11 from nearer BSSs, then choose channel 2 for its own BSS.

Thanks. /criss
