Answer: 
The AP is operating in the unlicensed 2.4 GHz band and 5GHz. Other devices operates in this frequency range that 
may cause interference include microwave ovens and 2.4 GHz portable phones. PCs or analog cellular phones do not 
operate at 2.4 GHz and do not cause interference. Proper placement of access points usually eliminates interference 
problems created by other 2.4 GHz devices.
