I actually think this may be a local issue, just used the system to do a scan and the interference on channel 6 is almost 100%, its actually channel 7 and is spreading quite wide so some RF sniffing is required.

Problem solved, remembering that I have a spectrum analyser adapter did some scanning internally and found I have something hogging channel 7 and spreadiing across the 3 adjacent channels either side. One of these smart home to infrared controllers, which I assume has gone faulty.

 

If I set the channel allocation on the access points to auto is it smart enough to listen every now and again and move the AP channels accordingly ?, part of RRM in Cisco speak.

Hey

 

Yes if you set it for auto it does tend to "self adjust" to avoid interference, not exactly sure how aggressively but have seen mine move channels
