One of the flaws in most (if not all?) of the Atheros chip sets is that
if it's not 802.11 and it's not 20 MHz, then it doesn't exist.
Anything built with Atheros seems to be very poor in detecting
"interference" if it isn't something that it recognizes.

I've done some playing with the routers recently. I've noticed that
auto almost always chooses the same channel that my customer's CPE is on.
It appears that the router is looking for the lowest noise level,
ignoring the fact that the 802.11 signal is strong, but isn't
registered as noise.
My working theory as to why *every* router on auto hits the channel
that feeds my customers.
I guess one hitch is I'm running 10MHz channels now, so realistically
the routers shouldn't be able to see it, though I suppose the sub
carriers are still the same.
If anyone has any input that'd be awesome.

Customer routers used to mostly default to WiFi channel 6, but now
they typically are set by default to AUTO and in many cases to use
an extension channel, so 6+11 or 1+6. We try to change the
customer’s router to a fixed 20 MHz channel on channel 6, then we
avoid using the middle of the band for our APs. If your CPE setup
is such that customers can hook up a new router and it just works,
over time they will migrate back to AUTO 20/40 MHz.
OK, actually we avoid using 2.4 GHz anymore, but that’s what we’ve
done on our legacy 2.4 GHz sites.

I can't decide that for you. You really need to know what the
noise is like at each sector. However, when I use 10 MHz channels,
I try to take advantage of the fact that you're only using a 1/2
channel. You're goig to get better results (most of the time) when
you're at the edges.

my other sectors at the same tower is on 6,9 should I go with 1
and 11 with 10mhz?

Get it off channel 7. Poke around at the sub end and see what
else is on what channel. Typically, there will be less noise
at channel 1 or 11. Most SOHO routers are going to be on
channel 6, and putting your stuff on 7 will get local
interference most of the time.

these stats are at the CPE and I even have the rf shields on
the AP's and the ap's are up 150ft up the air. So it sounds
like I am going have to probably switch it to 5ghz.

Looks like noise at the AP being my first thought.
Assuming those stats are from the CPE.
