1? Dunno what routers you work with but of Linksys, DLink, & Netgear's I've seen they
all default to center which is 6. Do a scan of any neighborhood and that's where
you'll find 99% of the WAPs.
As I said, this is likely because 1 & 11 have major attenuation at their respective
lower & upper edge of spectrum because there is not enough room to fit 20mhz centered
on the extremes. Showing the actual width characteristics is one of the nice things
about how InSSIDer displays scans.

Yes, the true non overlappable channels are 1 6 and 11, but then again,
you can eke out some throughput by going to a less congested channel.
The thing is that most routers default to 1.
So I changed mine to 6 and got great benefits.

Good luck on that, on 2.4ghz there are only 1, 6, 11 that don't overlap
and then
factor in the 40mhz vs. 20mhz issue. 1& 11 are nearly useless since
they don't
provide enough spectrum for 20mhz much less 40mhz.
After years of using Netstumbler to survey, I now use InSSIDer.
