Bad environment detected on Radio[0]:Channel[11] by AP Garage - WAC740

It is clear for your Neighbour AP list that Channel 1, 6 and 11 are congested & the behaviour is expected in this kind of condition.
Below is the details shows that how many ap's are configured to a particular channel:
Channel-1 has configured with 17 AP's, 6 has configured with 10 AP's and channel-11 has configured with 13 AP's and all these are non overlapping channels so you left out with overlapping channels
You can select any channel from these 2,3,4,5,7,8,9,10, and make sure you use different channel for each AP.

Ok, I will do this. I have one other issue with these APs. That has to do with PoE power. The 740s are drawing more power. I have upgraded my switch to an HP Aruba 3810M. This switch also fails to power the APs. What do I need to do? PoE configuration is as follows:
PoE: Enabled
Power Allocation by: class (also tried usage)
Power Priority: High (also tried low)
LLDP MED TLV(PoE): Enabled
LLDP DOT3 TLV (PoE+): Enabled
Pre standard Detect: Off
I have been using Netgear separate power supplies, but I should not have to. Thank you.
