The coverage are that you speak of is it at just 11 Mbps or is it at a
variable speed coverage, i.e., 1-11 Mbps?  If the point was to provide
11Mbps only then you must set this in each of the WAP's to ensure that
you are not able to see both where there shouldn't be any overlap.  This
may cause a problem depending on the AP's abilities as well as the WNIC
driver capabilities.
