Frequency ranges for various 802.11b channels [GHz]: 

1  2.401 - 2.423
2  2.404 - 2.428
3  2.411 - 2.433
4  2.416 - 2.438
5  2.421 - 2.443
6  2.426 - 2.448
7  2.431 - 2.453
8  2.436 - 2.458
9  2.441 - 2.463
10 2.446 - 2.468
11 2.451 - 2.473

This is for US/Canada. A few more channel may be available depending on
the country.

Note how 1, 6, & 11 don't overlap in frequency. The same is true for 2,
7, 12 and 3, 8, 13 but channels 12 and 13 may not be available. In
addition, most Wi-Fi access points are pre-configured with channel 1, 6
or 11 which means that other users in your neighbourhood probably use
one or more of them. In that case it is easier to get a free channel if
you stick to 1/6/11.
