Oh, and there's a Starbucks next door with free WiFi (I know, he could just tell them to use that, but I don't think they'd be happy!) so preventing interference is going to be an issue.

  
      

That shouldn't be a problem. The DD-WRT firmware has a site survey utility built in, and will show you what signals are floating around. Just choose a non-overlapping channel (in the States, for B & G, we have 1, 6, and 11 which do not overlap; I believe your channels are a bit different, as you should ahve available up to channel 14, IIRC).
    

I've never considered 'channels' before.  I assume I can go into the
router setup and make a selection there.  [I've just not tried to find
where.]  But, I did check the xWLAN Preferences.  I see no place to
select a 'channel' for the TPad radio to use.

  

This discussion got me wondering if playing with 'channels' might
resolve the 'flashing radio indicator' that has been bugging me for
months?  But, this also raises another question:  If I can/need to set
something on the TPad, what happens when I go to another site?

  

Maybe these are just dummy questions that I should know.  [But, it does
keep it 'on topic' doesn't it? . . . ;-) . . .]
