topic Overlapping channels in Wireless https://community.cisco.com/t5/wireless/overlapping-channels/m-p/104859#M195898 <P>Hi, if I am using overlapping channels, AP 1 using channel 11, AP 2 using channel 12, near to each other, do I get interference? If that's the case, how can they perform load balancing? Tks.</P> Mon, 05 Jul 2021 19:05:44 GMT william.ong 2021-07-05T19:05:44Z Overlapping channels https://community.cisco.com/t5/wireless/overlapping-channels/m-p/104859#M195898 <P>Hi, if I am using overlapping channels, AP 1 using channel 11, AP 2 using channel 12, near to each other, do I get interference?

You should try to use channels 1, 6, and 11 where possible, as these channels do not overlap. As far as load balancing and communication between APs, Aironet access points do not communicate with each other across the RF, they use the Ethernet connection for that.</P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 26 Oct 2001 11:28:04 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/wireless/overlapping-channels/m-p/104860#M195899 James Strong 2001-10-26T11:28:04Z
