Perhaps. In a first step, I switched Dynamic Turbo off but kept the
default channel with the "Auto Select" feature enabled. The online help
claims that by this means the channel with the least interference is
chosen. Alas, as soon as a second ap went online on the same channel my
link broke down and the ap happily stayed at 6. I've no idea whether
auto selection should have prevented this. However, assigning a channel
works. I should have done this sooner!

Cheers,
