Which three nonoverlapping 2.4 GHz channels does DSSS use to minimize collisions?

The 2.4 GHz band offers 11 channels in North America, but these channels overlap significantly. To avoid interference and minimize collisions, Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) Wi-Fi networks utilize non-overlapping channels. Channels 1, 6, and 11 are the only three channels in the 2.4 GHz band that do not overlap with each other, ensuring maximum separation and reducing co-channel interference for optimal performance. Using overlapping channels like 5, 6, 7 or 1, 2, 3 would lead to significant interference and degraded network performance. Channels 1, 5, 10 also overlap, though less severely than consecutive channels.
