That’s overkill… Your signals outside of the superstructure are pointless in planning. As for 5GHz stick to the low channels, they don’t do well outside and they’re underpowered for that purpose. If someone is using those channels outside they could get nicked by the FCC - it’s not pretty when it happens (personal experience). > On Feb 2, 2015, at 8:58 AM, Justin Krejci <jus at krytosvirus.com> wrote: > > Yes and no. It would be nice to coordinate with the neighbors but then maybe their position puts their new channel that is good for me is now bad for them or bad for their neighbors further down so if I am gently forcing them I would feel obligated to travel down the neighborhood doing channel planning. This is not something I am too keen on doing especially given that my actual wlan performance is generally fine, particularly given that I mostly use 5ghz which is mostly quiet in my immediate vicinity. I can only see one neighbor also using 5ghz so I chose a distant channel from theirs, assuming auto channel selection is not turned on in their ap; for the last several months I've never seen them change channels. > > -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
