I think I didn't explain my problem clearly. 10mhz/5mhz channel sep makes no difference on how each AP see's each other on a site survey on the tower. I want to isolate the sectors from each other in a better way, they are too hot to each other and too much overlap. I was looking for good ways to do it, I have no noise problems to clients, and my channels on the 3 AP's are 1/6/11, none overlapping, and all with -100 noise floor's.
