    I've a couple IAPs at my house that use for "testing". The connectivity last night was terrible. I thought something might be interfering, so I pulled out a spectrum analyzer. Although I don't know a lot about what I'm looking at, I didn't see anything that stood out. What I did see was traffic moving between channels 6 and 11.

    The GUI showed devices moving between the two channels. Running show ap arm history shows. in part, the following:

    Thanks. So ARM monitors the quality settings from the spectrum monitor and changes when it reaches a certain threshold? If so, where do you find that setting?
