Performance-wise, using a range extender or repeater is a bad thing as
the data is sent twice: from the router to the repeater and from the
repeater to the client (and back).
Of course, sometimes the alternatives are limited due to location
restrictions. If you cannot use a directly-wired AP,

I do know - that 60 or 40% didnt have a clue what they talking about

Well touch wood, my network has been better since moving over to
different channels.
I guess, despite being the same SSID / password, the 2 networks are
different physical networks which a device has to link to communicate
through. And defined by the SSID, not the channel number as you say.

In addition to the correct points garym made:
All devices communicating over a certain channel have to share the
limited bandwidth of that channel and have to avoid collisions while
talking. So the more clients are talking on a channel the less
throughput can be expected. And the different
Pay some attention to which AP your squeezebox actually is connected to
,they are not known to have a very good roaming function , especially
the controller you may have to force it to reconnect sometimes .

Thanks for the added info.
I will be trying 1,6, 11 in lieu of 6 on each.
I'll use Wifi Analytics to document any changes room by room to satisfy
my own curiosity.
thanks again.

Thanks for the additional info regarding having different channels on
the same network.
I have a router, a range extender and a homeplug wifi, all on 6.
After reading this and seeing the response from others, I researched
this on the net; without doing an exact count, I would say that is 60/40

Could someone help me understand the issues/consequences if all the
channels are the same? Mine seem to work ok, but maybe that's just a
fluke?

Cautiously optimistic - network seems more stable on different
channels...

quite simple...
the channels are the frequency the systems talking about.
If you know something about rc modells -
Hi
I have an extended network via homeplug, both labelled identically eg.
my network..
Should they also share the same wifi channel, or different channels ?
I am having some issues and wonder whether they shouldn't be on the same
channel...
Thanks

Different channels would be best, I have 3 channels here all with same
SSID network name, devices just chose the strongest signal where they
are

Thanks
But what if LMS is running on a laptop connecting to network on
different channel number to player - would that cause a problem ?

Not a problem. The channel does not define the network. I use same
SSID and password but different channels.

I'll give it a go then..
