WLAN—Getting Technical
FRITZ!Box 6810 LTE

In the 2.4-GHz frequency range the European regulation au-
thorities have designated 13 channels for WLAN.
A channel can have a bandwidth of 20 MHz (throughput of up
to 130 Mbit/s) or 40 MHz (throughput of up to 300 Mbit/s).
Channels located directly next to each other in the 2.4-GHz
band may overlap and result in mutual interference. For in-
stance, if several WLANs are operated close to each other in
the 2.4-GHz frequency range with a bandwidth of 20 MHz, a
distance of at least five channels should be left empty be-
tween each two channels used. This means that if channel 1
is selected for one WLAN, the channels 6 through 13 can be
selected for a second WLAN. This maintains the minimum dis-
tance between channels.
Should interference in a WLAN persist, the first step should
be to select a different channel.
WLAN Autochannel
With the WLAN autochannel function, the FRITZ!Box automati-
cally searches for the channel subject to the least interfer-
ence. This process takes into consideration interference from
radio networks in the vicinity (WLAN base stations) and po-
tential sources of interference (for instance video bridges,
baby monitors, microwave ovens). Should problems with in-
terference persist despite this function, try to identify the
source of interference and switch it off manually.
