Running Auto Channel Select (ACS)

ACS provides an easy way to optimize channel arrangement based on the current situation in the field. ACS provides an optimal solution only if it is triggered on all APs in a deployment. Triggering ACS on a single AP or on a subset of APs provides a useful but suboptimal solution. Also, ACS only relies on the information observed at the time it is triggered. Once an AP has selected a channel, it remains operating on that channel until the user changes the channel or triggers ACS.

To initiate ACS from the Channel Inspector Report, click Auto Channel Select.

To verify channel assignment without making changes, see Running a Background Scan.
