In the 2.4 GHz band, only channels 1, 6, and 11 are non-overlapping, meaning that they do not share any frequency spectrum with each other. This makes them the preferred channels for Wi-Fi networks to minimize interference with other devices that use the same band, such as Bluetooth, microwave ovens, cordless phones, etc. Using non-overlapping channels also allows for better performance and throughput, as devices on the same channel have to contend for the medium and avoid collisions. Channels 2 to 5 overlap with channel 1, channels 7 to 10 overlap with channel 6, and channels 12 and 13 overlap with channel 11. Channel 14 is not allowed in most countries and regions, and it also overlaps with channel 11. Therefore, using any of these channels would cause interference with the non-overlapping channels and degrade the network quality. The 2.4 GHz band has a total of 14 channels, each with a bandwidth of 22 MHz and a center frequency separated by 5 MHz. However, the actual frequency range used by each channel is wider than 22 MHz, as the signal spreads out due to modulation. This means that adjacent channels partially overlap with each other, and only channels that are 25 MHz apart or more are completely non-overlapping. The following table shows the center frequency and frequency range of each channel in the 2.4 GHz band:

As shown in the table, only channels 1, 6, and 11 have a 25 MHz separation between their center frequencies, and therefore do not overlap with each other or any other channel. This makes them the best choice for Wi-Fi communications in the 2.4 GHz band. References:

The PCs are not able to successfully establish bidirectional communication because they are on different subnets and their default gateways are not configured correctly. The default gateway is the IP address of the router interface that connects to the same subnet as the PC. The default gateway allows the PC to send packets to destinations outside its own subnet. In this case, PC-1 and PC-2 are on the 172.16.30.0/24 and 172.16.31.0/24 subnets respectively, and the router interfaces are 172.16.30.254 and 172.16.31.254 respectively. Therefore, the correct default gateway for PC-1 is 172.16.30.254 and the correct default gateway for PC-2 is 172.16.31.254. Changing PC-2’s default gateway to 172.16.31.254 will enable the communication between PC-1 and PC-212 References:

 A switch is a device that operates at the data link layer (Layer 2) of the OSI model. It is responsible for forwarding frames based on the MAC addresses of the source and destination devices. A switch can also perform media access control, VLAN tagging, QoS, and other Layer 2 functions. A router, on the other hand, operates at the network layer (Layer 3) and routes packets based on their IP addresses. A transceiver is a device that converts electrical signals to optical signals and vice versa, and operates at the physical layer (Layer 1). A UTP cable is a type of twisted pair cable that is also used at the physical layer to transmit data. References: Data link layer - Wikipedia, Data Link Layer | Layer 2 | The OSI-Model, What is Layer 2? - Definition from Techopedia, An Overview of Layer 2 Ethernet – What is it and why does it matter?
