Interference
The idea behind WLAN modulation is to pack as much data as possible into the wireless signal, and to minimize the amount of data that might be lost due to interference or noise. When data is lost, it must be retransmitted, using more of the wireless resources. Therefore, it is always best if a transmitter is configured to use a channel that is open and is clear from any other transmitter.
