Overlap channel with my own APs

Overlap channel with my own APs

Hi community,

I just got hands on a V2110 controller, and all this wifi stuff are pretty new for me. I have some interrogations about radio interference, i’ve started a “on-demand backgroud Scan” and found out that it seems a lot of interference (users are complaining of poor performances).

On the Radio A/C i have on some AP a lot of Overlapping, according to the documentation this is the worst interference we can get.

I wonder why most of these Overlapping interference come from near APs that are managed by my controller…

AP name column are mine too :

Is the controller supposed to deal with AP frequencies in order not to disrupt each others 

or i may missing something..

 

Thank you for your help on this !

Hi

It looks like you are using 80Mhz channel width and non-DFS channels only, this gives only 1 free 80Mhz channel.  80Mhz isn’t generally recommended, used 20Mhz or maybe 40Mhz if using DFS channels.

The APs will find their own channels, but only if you set them all to Auto in Request New Channel.  This article has more info on this: https://extremeportal.force.com/ExtrArticleDetail?n=000001149&q=How%20to%20configure%20APs%20to%...

 

In my experience, it is better to do your own survey and create your own channel plan so you don’t have APs to the side, over or under with the same channels.  It takes some time, but well worth it.
