Well this is a Cisco forum and not knowing the product you have makes it difficult to give you an answer. All I can say is make sure your APs use only channel 1, 6, and 11.

It could but then every client would be contending for the same media. Wireless is essentially a half duplex hub, and a client can't transmit if it detects every in the channel it is trying to use.

As Scott said, we use 1,6,11 fur wireless as they don't overlap and allow you to have more clients able to transmit at he same time.

Think of it like a classroom. We'll call the students channel 1.

So when a student is talking, no one else should be talking, so that he/she can say what the need to. Now a step further, if all the children are trying to talk at the same time, no one can hear what anyone else is trying to say, the all interfer with each other.

Now, you have three children, 1(spanish),6(english), and 11(french). Now each of these are speaking to their translator. Because they are different, they can all speak at the same time withouth inteferring with each other.

An odd analogy, but does it make sense?
