These channels fall into a specially regulated category where a Wi-Fi Non-overlapping 5 GHz channels also exist between 48 and 149, Vary by country, but in the United States these non-overlapping 5 GHzĬhannels are most recommended: 36, 40, 44, 48, 149, 153, 157 and 161. Network equipment have been pre-selected to choose only the Wireless interference issues in homes the way 2.4 GHz does.Īdditionally, the 5 GHz Wi-Fi channel choices available in most home These frequencies are much less likely to suffer from The three Wi-Fi channels 1, 6 and 11 have no frequency overlap withĨ02.11n and 802.11ac Wi-Fi networks also support 5 GHz wirelessĬonnections. Therefore, the further apart two channel numbersĪre, the less the degree of overlap and likelihood of interference. Lowest frequency band and each subsequent channel increases theįrequency slightly.


Wi-Fi channel numbers overlap with each other. WiFi typically has 14 overlappingĬhannels with most WiFi units are shipped set to channel 6. Standoff) is based off the overall diameter of the can and can beĬalculated using this on-line calculator:Ĭopper pick up elements should be approximately ¼ of the wavelength (D) should be longer than 1/2 of the wavelengthĮlement should be approximately 1/4 of the wavelengthĬopper pickup element (y) away from the back of the cantenna (rear (L) should be longer than 3/4 of the wavelength Values each dimension can be for the cantenna but the approximate The antenna, distance of the pickup from the end of the tube and the 1 The important parameters are the diameter of the tube used to form The Poor Wifi Hackers Choice” by Sven-Erik Zetterström. Parameters to use for a cantenna are covered in the book “Cantenna The most complete information on the optimum It is literally is a can with a pickup mounted a set distance from The cantenna is anĪbbreviation of the word “can” and antenna. Simplify the construction process and make it easy to construct Yagi or parabolic antennaes are the most effectiveĪt concentrating the power of the WiFi transmitter in a specificĭirection but they are complex to design and construct.
