I just checked, and in the apartment I live in, my AP is one of 9 active AP's within range of my laptop. Four of them including mine are on channel 6. I never had any problems with my Squeezebox (which also bridges to a printer). Finger, is your slimserver also running on a wireless system, perhaps your laptop? Are you aware that this doubles your wireless traffic (all traffic goes to the AP and then has to come back) and likely doubles your chances of having problems? Any chance of running Slimserver on a system that's wired to your AP?
