Warning for Wireless users

tpi_176

Please remember to log into your hub and change the channel your router is on. Now most people who already know this will have done it because of other routers set the channel 11. However I have noticed that a council installed device for measuring my energy supply was interfering with my router set to CH13. If you have slow wireless it could be due to these types of household wireless devices.

Just a heads up!:j

Why choose Ch13 it overlaps Ch11 anyway, the optimum channels to prevent overlap are 1, 6 or 11.

Check with inSSIDer and select the channel with the number of users with the least/lowest signal strength on these channels.
