Wireless Channel Selection

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windows.networking.wireless (More info?)

My neighbor has a wireless home network. He is running a Linksys setup
showing on Channel 6. My system is a Netgear and it is running on Channel
11. From what I have read 1, 6 & 11 are the preferred channels for best
signal. My neighbor wants to know if he changes his channel to 1 or 11 would
this interfere with my network nearby. His signal gets dropped quiet often
and feels this may be the issue due to a weak signal from his router.

Anyone know what frequency cordless DECT phones work at?

Is it anywhere the frequency of WiFi.
