A client station includes a transceiver module and an association module. The transceiver module is configured to receive a beacon from an access point. The beacon includes information of a first available channel that is not assigned for licensed use in a regulated frequency spectrum and that is available for use at a location of the access point. The association module is configured to associate the client station with the access point via the first available channel in response to the client station being within range of the location of the access point.
