'partially' overlapped 802.11b channels

Hi

Understand the channel design need to be 5 channels apart, but if they are 3 or 4 channels apart, what is the result?

assuming we are using channel 1,4,8

thanks

Use the Radio diagnosis tool to see the difference in the SNR using diffrent channel seperation.

We I tries to use fewer channel sepration in our environment the SNR was effected.

Therefore we use 1,6 & 11 and with proper site survey we reduce the radio power ( Watts) to reduce overlapping channels.

THanks! Thats a good answer.

too bad, our AP does not support adjusting the power, what else can we do to solve the overlapping problem beside playing with the channels?
