Abstract: The present invention provides a system for mitigating deleterious interference effects on a wireless LAN system (100). An access point is adapted to monitor communications for an interference condition (104, 106). Some desired time threshold is provided. The access point is adapted to alter an operational characteristic responsive to an occurrence of the interference condition, and maintains that altered operational characteristic until the desired time threshold has passed. The access point is then returned (110, 114) to an original operational state after the desired time threshold has passed and the interference condition has ended.
