In a setup with multiple wAP ac setup as CAPs administrated from CapsMan, where both the 5ghz and 2ghz radios are provided with the same configuration, what is the easiest way to avoid that a single CAP select a specific channel?
The current issue is that one Caps 2ghz tend to select the 2427MHz channel, and this frequency is sometimes highly disturbed by other electrical appliances (running for a few minutes every few hours). I’d like to tell this particular Cap to never select this frequency, while leaving this frequency available to all the other Caps, and preferably still let all caps share other configuration. Whats the easiest way to do this?
In CAPsMAN create Channels and then use those to assign the Channel in the CAP Interface section.
