Inter-access point interference - part 2 PDF Print E-mail

A while back, I'd discussed tests that I'd performed while introducing interference from a neighboring access point set to the same channel. My finding then was that there wasn't much impact. This was with no users actively using the neighboring access point, however. Recently, I re-ran the tests with ten users continuously sending TCP/IP pings to the neighboring access point, and the throughput fell by roughly fifty percent! Keep that in mind when planning access point channels. There's certainly merit in setting neighboring access points to non-conflicting channels.
