Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] 4-channels in 2.4 GHz

[Scott Smith]

I've been using 4 channels in the 2.4GHz for years.  I've seen and tested heavily when we first switched to that idea, but since then I've more advanced RF technologies and other research that has shown that 1, 6, 11, and 1 in the same area is better than 4 unique channels. I've been doing RF since 1997 and have had lots of field experience trying lots of combinations like this.  I'd glad discuss further, but for a more detailed conversation a phone call might be better. Cisco has released a third party guide stating this same topic and it's supposed to be a non-Cisco document but it certainly has some marketing in it as well.
