I think as long as you are 3 channels apart you are OK. OOTB most APs seem to default to 1 and most people don't change it. At home I can see three #1 and one #6 I tried #9 which was fine until the wife switched on the remote video sender. The WIFI was still OK but the TV was unwatchable. Dropping to #8 fixed things. Problem is that WIFI, DECT phones, Video senders et al all use the 2.4 GHz band. HTH -- Regards Dave Saville
