Hello,
I just recently enabled some additional e-mail alerting from my cisco WLC. Since enabling them i've been receiving constant alerts about a interferer 'WiFi Invalid Channel' being detected and then clearing.
the full message is
Security-risk Interferer 'WiFi Invalid Channel' is detected by 'WAP'.Interferer severity is '2'.
i've done some research on what this is, which from my understanding is either a non-wifi device or wifi device that is transmitting just off center of a standard wifi channel.
However, i could not find anything on how to track down or locate these devices. any insight on how to do this would be appreciated.
Thanks

What is happening is that the ap has detected "something" using a non standard channel. For example, maybe channel 12 on the 2.4ghz. Take a look at the RF with a spectrum and see if you see non standard channels being used.

We have a few blue tooth devices in that area, i'm wondering if that AP is picking it up as the interferer.
any idea if that is possible?

Bluetooth would be detected as Bluetooth to be honest. I don't think that is the case.
