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.

Abstract: A method to be performed in a communication network device having communication interfaces is described. The communication network includes a first wireless communication interface operating at a first frequency, for repeating data received, via a second wireless communication interface, in a first frame by forwarding data in a second frame via the first wireless interface. In an exemplary embodiment, when the second wireless interface is operating at a frequency different from the first frequency or a communication interface using a communication protocol different from a communication protocol of the first interface, the second frame has a source address being an address of a transmitter of the first frame, and when the second interface is a wireless interface operating at the first frequency, the second frame comprises a source address different from the transmitter address of the first frame.
