Al, Cisco has had this feature in their APs for a while. I remember see a checkbox labelled 'Find uncongested channel' or something similar in their config setup next to the 'Channel' drop down menu. Since Cisco owns Linksys, they could add the feature to Linksys APs too but they may limit it to high-end (read 'more expensive') APs. You should write a polite email to Linksys asking for this functionality. Maybe they will listen. Good luck, Harshal ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ---------------------~--> Yahoo!
