Channel Number Select the channel number of wireless radio. All
wireless devices who wish to communicate with
each other must use the same channel number.
It’s highly recommended to select a channel
number which is not taken by other access points,
or the wireless network performance will become
poor. To know which channels are taken by other
access points, you can use ‘Site Survey’ function
(See chapter 2-7-5) to discover which channel
numbers were taken already.
