They don't have to be on your channel. When the channels for Wifi were figured out, they were made to overlap. Channel 6, for example, makes a nice curve and puts noise in channels 4,5,7 and 8 as well as 6. (This was because if you're sloppy in the transmissions, parts don't need to be as precise, and you can be sloppy in the receiver portions too.) Likewise, 1 uses 1,2 and 3, and 11 users 9, 10 and 11 (they also use frequencies above/below but those aren't channels). So if you're on 6 and a neighbor is on 5, you will have cross traffic. And, of course, things like Baby Monitors, Cordless Phones, TV extenders, Microwave ovens, Burglar Alarms, RC toys, etc, don't recognize wifi channels at all and like spitting where ever they wish in the 2.5Ghz range. -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81072 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
