    When you have APs too close to each other you could experience some performance issues even if the APs are on different channels since the channel side bands could still make an impact on the other channel and create radio congestion.

     

    That's why is recommended to have APs 25-30 feet apart

    DFS is use with UNII 2 extended 5Ghz 

     

    In regards to the channel assignment if you have ARM turned on , the APs usually scans other channels then it analyzes the interference level seen on other channels and this information is send back to the controller and based on this information the controller will make the best decision on what channel/power each AP will be assigned
