Abstract

The disclosure relates to a method for configuring an WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) access point adapted to use at least one operational frequency channel to transmit or receive data when the access point is in an operational mode. The configuring includes checking an availability of at least one restricted frequency channel, a use of the restricted frequency channel being restricted by the availability, choosing the operational frequency channel from a set of frequency channels according to the checked availability, a first configuring comprising a first checking of restricted frequency channels belonging to a first proper sub-set of the set being performed before entering into the operational mode. At least one second checking of at least one restricted frequency channel of the set, that has not been checked as available, is performed after the first configuring.
