Well downloaded 2 analyser ,both showed congestion on channels 9, 10, 11 and perhaps lower to 5 or 6 too but those where intermittant as i walked round the house. in lounge i can get up to 5 other networks (plus my own) and most of them are overlapping my channel to some degree and 2 are show quite a high bell curve as mine does. manually changed the channel to 1 so will see how that goes later in night. since altering to channel 1 at present it looks like things have improved but then when everyone is home tonight will be telling if this has fixed the problem. Lastly if it doesn't then what? _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list Linux-users@lists.canterbury.ac.nz http://lists.canterbury.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
