Hi all,

All my SBs beside a boom box are connected via ehternet cables. The
boom box is connected wirelessly to either an Asus router with dd-wrt
firmware (details below) or an additional access point (details
below)(same SSID, same WPA key).

Because of the additional access point, I want to set the radio channel
of both WLAN access points to distinct frequencies to avoid
interferences.

But when I set the channel to ANY "fixed" frequency on the Asus router
(disabling "auto" mode) the connection to the boom box drops at high
bitrates (FLAC).

Connected to the Devolo AP, the fixed channel does not seem to affect
the WLAN stability. FLAC audio is streamed flawlessly.

All other WLAN devices (WLAN-VoIP-Phone, Notebooks, Cell-Phones with
WLAN) do not seem to bother on whether the radio channel is set to
"fixed" or "auto" mode.

Now my questions are: 
Is there a bug in the boom boxes WLAN electronic? Is it a bug in the
dd-wrt firmware, that appears only in combination with the boom box?

Is it possible to leave one/both APs in the "auto" channel mode,
without causing interferences?

Is it due to electromagnetic pollution, that "auto" mode performs
better because it automatically choses the best channel (allthough only
one other WLAN from the neighborhood is visible. The devolo APs area is
certainly not less noisy).

Any hints on how to track down the issue?
Thanks in advance,
cheers,
Hering
