What happens when sticky access points are selected on a channel conflict map?

When sticky access points are selected on a channel conflict map, it means that the access point (AP) devices are anchored to desired locations on the map. This anchoring process allows network administrators to visualize and manage the placement of their access points more effectively. By fixing the APs to these specific locations, administrators can ensure that the coverage areas are optimized based on the physical layout of the environment and the intended coverage needs.

The concept of anchoring helps in maintaining the intended design and performance of the Wi-Fi network, especially in environments where interference or coverage gaps might be a concern. This approach ensures that during the network design and planning process, the access points remain in predetermined effective positions, thus allowing for better channel management and conflict resolution.
