Be aware that, being spread spectrum, each "channel" operates on multiple
frequencies, and that each channel shares a subset of its frequencies with
some other channels.  It is possible to have up to 3 non-overlapping
channels in an area by using channels 1, 6, and 11.  So to minimize
interference I'd recommend using channel 6 rather than 5.
