Here Here! If you are in a congested WIFI location, the best thing to do is to adopt a "non-traditional" IP address for your router: Most "traditional" routers" start with 192.168" In reality, you can use any address you want for your "internal" network since it is never seen by the "outside world." Change your DHCP router parameters to whatever you want. So long as your "Gateway" address points to your DSL/cable modem. Secondly, see other posts concerning channel selection (other than the defaults.)
