The same is not true of the 2.4-GHz band. Each of its channels is much too wide to avoid
overlapping the next lower or upper channel number. In fact, each channel covers the fre-
quency range that is allocated to more than four consecutive channels! Notice the width of
the channel spacing in Figure 1-15 as compared to the width of one of the shaded signals
centered on channels 1, 6, and 11. The only way to avoid any overlap between adjacent chan-
nels is to configure APs to use only channels 1, 6, and 11. Even though there are 14 channels
available to use, you should always strive for nonoverlapping channels in your network.
