I just checked out what I can see from my laptop.
I see nine WiFi access points, mine and six others. Five of them use
Channel 6. Two use 11, one used 5, one used 1
There are no free channels. One is a neighbor across the circle from me,
probably 100 meters away. Another is down the street, more l

In fact, make that 16 WLANs plus my own!

I happily use channel 13 on my Netgear router here in t
I'm pretty sure that a US laptop(or SB boom, probably) cannot see
channels 12 and 13.
I ran into this issue when a US friend tried to use her laptop at my
home in London.

Boom will work as there is only one version of firmware.
Your laptop will depend on the wireless card and its associated driver
- you would need to check this out separately.

Some routers has a "country" setting or similar that turns on the
channels above 11 or different firmware, my old netgear had a US and
non US firmware. I think ch13 are "illegal" to use in US but it is not
likely that a SWAT team will knock down your door for that.

Channel 13 is a forgottem channel which works outside of N. America and
is very neglected since many poster just suggest 1,6 or 11 to fix
problems.
Also you can use directional antenna (even the cereal packet & tinfoil
version) will help with signal by excluding other sources.

I'm going by reports that in 802.11g mode, they're more powerful. Also
MIMO should help.

I prefer the stealth method ;-) I see at least seven different
networks.
Sometimes more.
To many neighbours. To my relief they seem to club at the same
channels.
I will not make them aware of the fact that you CAN change channels
;-)
They can have their crappy wifi.

Not a neighbour in sight for 1km. Don't even need to bother with
securing the router!
The other advantage is you can play what you like, when you like at the
volume you like.

I always used to have a stable wireless network, but over Christmas, one
of the neighbors got something...I don't know what, but several times a
day, it knocks out my wireless network for 5-30 minutes at a time.
Checking NetStumbler, it seems to knock out most other wireless
networks as well. DD
So true. Probably better kill thy neighbour ;-) (Especially those who
run multiple WLANs in -one- apartment! Or start saving money and use
one together …)
