Methods and systems are presented for establishing communications in a
wireless local area network involving obtaining at least one
channel-specific measurement for each of a plurality of frequency
channels, automatically selecting one of the plurality of frequency
channels as a selected frequency channel by taking into account the at
least one channel-specific measurement for each of the plurality of
frequency channels, configuring a present access point (AP) device to
transmit and receive data on the selected frequency channel, and
configuring a present station (STA) device to transmit and receive data
on the selected frequency channel, wherein the present AP device and the
present STA device are capable of communicating data within a wireless
local area network.
