SSID's on different channel?

[tim_buster]

Hi all, we have multiple WLANS/SSID's on our controller, which are broadcasting on all AP's.

Is it possible to configure the AP's to broadcast the SSID's on different channels or is this not necessary/usefull.

Do the 2 SSID's interfere?

Thanks in advance!

An AP servicing ssid on 2 channels at the same time would require 2 radios. It's like a walkie-talkie that cannot listen to 2 channels at the same time, you have to select one.

So APs usually have a radio in the 5ghz band and one in the 2.4ghz band. So you can have the SSIDs both on 2 and 5ghz bands or one band only.

But you cannot spread the SSIDs between channel of a same band.
