   Both corporate and some consumer access points offer automatic channel   
   selection, where it will pick a channel which appears to have less   
   interference.   
      
   As I point out in my other post, it doesn't always make the best choices   
   for clients, and if other APs also do it, you get a never ending game of   
   WiFi musical chairs.
