Actually, the clients will scan channels looking for the router/access
point, and use whatever channel they find it on. So it only needs to change
there.
A few access points can be configured to move to a less-congested channel
when interference is encountered, but that's mostly on higher-end gear.
When I surveyed the wireless around my neighborhood, over half of the
detected networks were duking it out for channel 11, leaving 1 and 6
relatively free.
(Because B/G signals spread out over two adgjacent channels on each side,
using 1/6/11 fully saturates the spectrum. Using any channels closer
together than that forces them to reduce power and bandwidth to avoid
interference.)
