Re: [JAWS-Users] Linksys Router
I would leave the adaptor alone, because its set to default auto, and if changed then that is the only numbered channel it will connect to.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Linksys Router
Under wireless. Depending on your router model and region in the world, you will have different choices. From my understanding some of the channels overlap, so moving to an adjacent channel may not help much. It might be more helpful to move from channel 6, which is usually the default to channel 1 or 2, or to 11, or if you are in a region that allows it, channel 13. If you have a N capable router, you can change the channel width from 40MHz wide to 20MHz wide. With a 2.4GHz router, any cordless phones operating in the 2.4GHz range as well as microwave ovens can impede wireless range as well.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Linksys Router
When logged into the router, there should be a combo box or similar control in the wireless section for the channel. I think the possible values are 1 through 11. Some of these channels are more used by cordless phones and microwaves than others. In my house, I found channel 11 to have less interference. Your laptop or devices should automatically switch to the selected channel.
