Assigning channels to 8.021b

[chickenrice]

after reading through the articles in this website, i learnt that Channel 1, 6 & 11 are on non-overlapping frequencies and recommended to use.

I am deploying 7 APs in a warehouse, all located on the walls along the building perimeter.

Can I have re-use Channel 1, 6 & 11 again in this scenerio ? Any advice on how to assign channels to my APs (see diagrams)

It is important to know if you are using directional or omni antenna. But based on the info here is what I'd do.

A- 11
B- 6
C- 1
D- 6
E- 1
F- 11
G- 1

That should give you the best seperation.
Good luck

Tks. They are Orininoco Products (AP500, AP600, WAVEPOINT II)

I think they are omni APs.

80meters - ~260 feet

what I'd do is implament either less APs or turn down the signal strength by 50% if your planning on needing that much coverage.

Also for a security standpoint, if you have the APs on the perimiter of the building blasting away at 100% it will be very easy for war drivers/script kiddies to access the network.
