Guess so, seems odd for the reasons stated unless you have a different spectrum
setup. Of course if wiki can be trusted it sounds like France & Spain originally
limited use to 10&11, 10-13 respectively, so stranger things have happend!

Most routers in my neighborhood are set to 1.
It's weird.

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.
