Q

2.4 GHz Channels

A

Has 11 channels in total

Many devices us 2.4 = crowded

NON-overlapping channels = 1,6 & 11
— Offer the best chance of minimizing interference

Q

Wireless Channels

A

where data runs on
ONLY runs on 2.4 / 5 GHz

i. Lane of communication
ii. More people use = more crowded / slower

4
Q

5 GHz Spectrum

A

a. Short Range communication

b. Faster data rates than 2.4 GHz

c. Low chance of interference because of its shorter range

d. NOT many devices use 5 GHz

e. More channels the better

f. TOO much crowd = change the channel

g. poor penetration through barriers
