1. A method of selecting a channel frequency and bandwidth for a network comprising an access point and a plurality of stations, the method comprising:
receiving, from a spectrum analyzer at each of the stations, a description of power in a plurality of frequencies at one or more times to determine an ambient noise floor for each frequency in the plurality of frequencies;
weighting the ambient noise floor of each frequency by a factor weight specific to each frequency, wherein the factor weight is based on a ratio of a receive usage for each frequency to a sum of the receive usages of all frequencies;
determining a goodness value of each of a plurality of channels based, at least in part, on the weighted ambient noise floor of each frequency; and
presenting a list of the plurality of channels ranked by the determined goodness value.
