I put up a post earlier about connecting multiple laptops wirelessly and
whether or not they would affect each other, as my cordless phone
disconnects my connection when I talk on it. However, I was assured that I
could hook up as many connections wirelessly without affecting each other,
but was recommended to set the AP to a different channel. Unfortunately, I
have no idea what this means, or even how to do it. Here is a response I
received: "But if you have a lot of AP's around that are on the same
channel they will screw everything up even with different SSID's. That is
why you always try to set your AP to a different channel than what is near
you. Preferably using channels 1,6 or 11. Do a search for nearby AP's and
figure out which channel is strongest and use another channel at least 5
channels awayfrom that for best performance. Can anybody help??? Thanks
