Here's something that's been bugging me ever since I saw it. I've been
meaning to ask someone how it could be!?
While on vacation for the 4th of July in Atlanta, GA, I saw a banner
touting "free wireless internet access" at a hotel located in the
Buckhead area. Before heading home, I stopped by with my notebook and
asked them if I could test it.
When I fired up my LinkSys 802.11b site survey utility, I was surprised
to see four access points all on channel 10! I didn't move about any as
I was just sitting in their lobby for a few minutes, but all four of
them had mac addresses and each had very good signal strength.
How could this be? I mean wouldn't four APs all on the same channel
this close together really screw things up? This goes against
everything I've read about using the 3 available non-overlapping 802.11b
channels.
