Network With 15 or Fewer Access Points
If 15 or fewer access points are on the network, the channel
should be different for all access points. The subchannel
can be the same as or different than the channel.
EXAMPLE 1:
The channel and subchannel could be set as follows (the access
point number in the first column is arbitrary):

Network With 16 or More Access Points
When the number of in-range access points is 16 or more,
channels must be reused. The channel can be the same for
two or more, but they should have different subchannels.
In this case, access points using the same channel receive
traffic for another access point but discard frames with the
incorrect subchannel. To minimize interference, access
points using the same channel (but different subchannels)
should be physically located outside the radio range of one
another.
