Channel 3 is not a good channel to use as it overlaps with channel 1,2,4,5 & 6 and this is just with 20MHz - with bonding at 40MHz and it is even worse. So other networks on neigbouring channels can interfere with your network and reduce quality of signal - a strong signal does not means a signal with good quality
To minimise overlaps and so get best connection - it is common practice to limit choice to channel 1,6, and 11 (and maybe 13 if in Europe/Japan but some devices can't use it) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116136 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
