Select the frequency band (2.4 GHz vs. 5 GHz) is a prerequisite for selecting the channel. Channel selection is useful primarily as follow: - Restrict to a particular access point when multiple access points use the same SSID (AP name) but are available on different frequencies. - Configure for a particular ad-hoc mesh network. - Setup multiple access points from a single FreedomBox on multiple channels to maximize the throughput and number of simultaneous clients. Ability to specify a particular BSSID will help associate with a particular access point when multiple access points use the same SSID (AP name). This is also makes it slightly harder to trick clients into connection to a malicious device. Also configuring BATMAN-adv seems to require setting a particular BSSID.
