CAPsMAN Channel Planning with Non-Overlapping Frequency
MikroTik CAPsMAN is an excellent application for managing multiple CAPs (Controlled Access Point) in a Wireless Network. But multiple APs create frequency overlapping issue if channels are not configured properly. Channel overlapping is required for smooth connection while roaming but there should not be frequency overlapping because frequency overlapping makes wireless performance so poor. In my previous article, I discussed MikroTik CAPsMAN basic configuration with default channel configuration. In this article, I will discuss how to configure CAPsMAN channel to avoid frequency overlapping. Non Overlapping Channels One of my previous articles on WiFi Frequency Band and Channel Width showed the available non overlapping channels in 2.4 GHz Band. There are five non overlapping channel sets on 20MHz channel width in 2.4 GHz frequency but globally 1, 6 and 11 channel set is usually used. The middle frequency of these channels is given in the following table: Channel Number Middle Frequency 1 2412 6 2437 11 2462 In a multi WiFi AP network, the coverage of WiFi AP must be overlap for smooth connection but frequency overlapping must be avoided. So, we have to plan properly for designing a multi WiFi AP network. A possible multi WiFi AP network where there [...]
