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 

 for details). See 

 for a list of Channels.

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 

. Note that you cannot 

manually set the channel for 802.11a 
products in Europe (see 

 for details).
