Most any WiFi device or application will show available networks. But some do not show the ch # which is important in hunting down WiFi issues. You are probably good to go, but if the ten closest WiFi's are also on ch 1 I'd move mine to ch 11 just to reduce the likelihood of future issues. As you say, these other ch 1's are quite weak so it probably makes little difference. You can always move it back to ch 1 if you choose. It doesn't hurt to check the surrounding WiFi's every couple of months to see if a new one pops up. Now that you know what to look for and how to do it, it only takes about 30 seconds. :) -- toby10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62422 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
