SUMMARY
Microsoft recommends that you configure your wireless base station to use channel 1, 6, or 11.



MORE INFORMATION
Channels 1, 6, and 11 are the wireless channels that are least likely to be affected by radio interference. Some cordless telephones and other wireless devices use radio frequencies that can interfere with 802.11b wireless technology.

To set the wireless channel for your base station:
 * 1) Open the Base Station Management Tool, and then click Wireless.
 * 2) Select the Enable wireless access check box, if it is not already selected.
 * 3) Click the channel number that you want to select in the Wireless channel number drop-down list.
 * 4) To save the new wireless channel setting, click Apply.
