Another CAPsMan question

RouterOS Wireless Networking
1

I have 2 CAPs I provision. On the 2.4 GHz bands, the channels selected often overlap, or are sometime the same! I thought CAPsMan checked the nearby channels before selecting the least occupied one. Is this not true? How can I avoid this? Config is posted below.

Thanks again to all.

Regards,

Dave

I think I figured this out. In the configuration section, you can specify a frequency to use. You can pull down another box to add a second frequency. I placed 2 non-overlapping frequencies here, and they were used separately during the provisioning process.

Now, If someone could just explain the differences between the country selections United States, Unites States 2, United States 3 etc.
