It helps less interference on Wi-Fi channels 6 and 11 because they are less crowded compared to other channels.

The reason some systems operate faster at certain moments is to balance performance and efficiency. Using multiple channels allows for parallel processing, which can improve speed and responsiveness. It also helps manage workloads better, ensuring smoother operation without overloading any single component.
When multiple Wi-Fi networks use the same channel, devices struggle to connect and share data. It's similar to having many radios broadcasting on the same frequency—making it tough for any single signal to be heard clearly.
However, it seems the channel is discussing something unrelated to the idea of internet being wired. It’s possible that many users in a crowded area share the same WiFi frequency because they often choose popular channels like 6, 11, or 1.
They rely on channels 1, 6, and 11 to reduce overlap and interference. For instance, you might start on channel 1, move to channel 6 next, then channel 11, and finally return to 1 because it's sufficiently distant. In reality, neighborhoods don’t actually coordinate this way, so scanning your area and picking the least crowded channel is usually best. Occasionally folks settle for a middle option, which can cause issues. The pink signal on channel 9 is worth noting.
The way WiFi functions is based on channel usage. Channels 1, 6, and 11 don’t interfere with one another. Other channels can be used, and it’s rare for anyone else to use those. Still, they often “talk over” each other due to overlapping signals.
Hang on then... mess with everyone? Like everyone using the WiFi in the area? Because if it blocks others, my WiFi might get faster. If I pick around 3, that’s what I’d do lol.
Choosing a channel from 1, 6, or 11 increases the challenge for others to stay clear of your overlap
