LinkSys 802.11G client card can scan the nearby APs and report which channel they are on. This can be useful to adjust channel settings on your AP. In addition, I know that Cisco AP has a setting where it can continuosly monitor the channel and switch to least congested channel in case current channel gets busy. You may need to find out if LinkSys has similar setting.

As popular as wireless has gotten, you might find out that a neighbor has a wireless AP too. Greg --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > ------------------------ Yahoo!
