Auto Channel 
Select

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; see 

 for a list of Channels. However, 

if you are setting up a Wireless Distribution 
System (WDS), it must be disabled. See 

 for more 

information.

Frequency 
Channel

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 operating 
channel. If you decide to manually set the 
unit’s channel, ensure that nearby devices do 
not use the same frequency (unless you are 
setting up a WDS). Available Channels vary 
based on regulatory domain. See
