One other possibility is that the receiver is near to a very high powered AP and there is enough energy in the signal to recover it far from its transmitted channel. This can be easily demonstrated with a Cisco 1200 AP, transmitting at full power (100mW) on channel 6. Within about 20 feet, the Beacons from this AP can be correctly received on all 11 802.11b channels.

Perhaps you have setup your AP to 'Search for best channel' and it is moving itself around the the lower utilization channel on a regular basis? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Scott Douglass Sent: Monday, October 13, 2003 3:22 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [BAWUG] beacon frames and channels Should an AP be broadcasting beacon frames on a channel other than the one it's radio has been configured to use? For example, if my radio is set to use channel 1, should I see beacon frames from that radio on channel 11? -- Scott Douglass <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Evolved Messaging @ http://www.geneticmail.com/ -- general wireless list, a bawug thing <http://www.bawug.org/> [un]subscribe: http://lists.bawug.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless -- general wireless list, a bawug thing <http://www.bawug.org/> [un]subscribe: http://lists.bawug.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless
