Fortunately, this is one group I DON'T have to explain to about overlapping frequencies. See the picture--it will make it clear as day. There are fundamentally (in the US) only 3 frequencies that correspond to channels 1,6, and 11. In Europe, you also get a 4th frequency on channel 14.
Channels 12-14 are only legal outside the USA. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels On Wed, Jul 16, 2014, at 02:40 PM, Lynn W.
