The channel utilization percentage is displayed along with a
rating symbol: Pass, Warning, or Fail, based on the
Channel non-802.11 Utilization threshold.
NOTE: If the Combine Utilization setting is enabled in
Settings > 802.11 Settings, this screen does not
separate 802.11 and non-802.11 Utilization and shows
only a combined total Utilization.

The channel usage varies depending on the time of day,
based on the number of clients connected to the network,
the amount of interference from devices, such as
microwaves or video cameras, etc.
