Improved WLAN throughput due to dynamic selection of the best WLAN channel by the access point in case of interference.
Choosing a WLAN channel specifies which part of the frequency band is used by an access point for its logical WLANs. To ensure the flawless operation of a WLAN within range of another access point, each of the access points should be using a separate channel—otherwise the WLANs have to share the medium. For this purpose, LANCOM access points use the feature Adaptive RF Optimization: The access point permanently scans the radio field for interfering signals. If a threshold is exceeded on the current WLAN channel (by means of the "wireless quality indicators"), the access point automatically switches to a qualitatively better channel. This intelligent feature enables the access point to dynamically adapt to an ever-changing radio field in order to maximize the WLAN’s stability.

In LANconfig you have the option to manually configure the different thresholds that are used as the basis for an automatic channel change.
