Choosing the "quietest" channel for your wireless network
In locations where homes or offices are close together, such as apartment buildings or office complexes, there may be wireless
networks nearby that can conflict with your wireless network. Your wireless adapter may include a utility to assist in scanning for the
least congested network, otherwise you may be able to find another piece of software that can be used. These tools display a
graphical representation of the wireless networks in range and the channels on which they are operating. Try to find a channel which
is not as busy and does not overlap with another one. Channels 1, 6 and 11 are the only channels which do not overlap with one
another and you should ideally choose one of these channels. Experiment with more than one of the available channels, in order to
find the clearest connection and avoid interference from neighbouring cordless phones or other wireless devices.
