Customer routers used to mostly default to WiFi channel 6, but now they 
typically are set by default to AUTO and in many cases to use an extension 
channel, so 6+11 or 1+6.  We try to change the customer’s router to a fixed 20 
MHz channel on channel 6, then we avoid using the middle of the band for our 
APs.  If your CPE setup is such that customers can hook up a new router and it 
just works, over time they will migrate back to AUTO 20/40 MHz.

OK, actually we avoid using 2.4 GHz anymore, but that’s what we’ve done on our 
legacy 2.4 GHz sites.

I can't decide that for you. You really need to know what the noise is like at 
each sector. However, when I use 10 MHz channels, I try to take advantage of 
the fact that you're only using a 1/2 channel. You're goig to get better 
results (most of the time) when you're at the edges.

    Get it off channel 7. Poke around at the sub end and see what else is on 
what channel. Typically, there will be less noise at channel 1 or 11. Most SOHO 
routers are going to be on channel 6, and putting your stuff on 7 will get 
local interference most of the time.

      these stats are at the CPE and I even have the rf shields on the AP's and 
the ap's are up 150ft up the air. So it sounds like I am going have to probably 
switch it to 5ghz.

        Looks like noise at the AP being my first thought. Assuming those stats 
are from the CPE.
