When designing a multi-floor deployment in RUCKUS Wi-Fi Planner, which adjustment best prevents co-channel interference...

To minimizeco-channel interference (CCI)in multi-floor Wi-Fi environments, planners should assigndifferent non-overlapping 2.4 GHz channels per floor—typically channels 1, 6, and 11.

According toRUCKUS One Online Help – RF Planning Best Practices, overlapping floors can cause vertical signal leakage, leading to channel contention and performance degradation. TheRUCKUS Wi-Fi Plannerallows layer-based channel mapping to simulate floor separation and interference.

While reducing transmit power can complement this strategy,channel segregationremains the primary CCI mitigation method. Increasing AP density or enabling SmartMesh does not resolve channel reuse conflicts in vertical topologies.
