It depends on how far away and how strong the signal is. If its either a
54 mpbs or 108 mbps router within the 2.4 to 2.5 GHz signal ranges which is
what wireless
wireless phones also share a part of the spectrum anywhere inside 125 feet.
With Super G
(108 MHz) which has an extended overall range of 400 feet your wireless AP is
fine.
One note: using either 802.11b or g for backward compatibility you can use
channels 6 through 11
but as I've found out with my new Netgear WGT624v3 Super G router if you use
Auto sense 108 setting
which is also backward compatible with 802.11b and g it will only allow channel
6 broadcasts.
So if you have any 802.11b or g devices and want to make sure that you have the
device connections
active use the 802.11b and g setting.

I finally racked my servers and test machines - metal rack from safeco if it
matters (nice too, regret not doing it sooner). I have my AP sitting on top
of a bookcase near my desk but i'm going to move the bookcase one of these
days to make room for a new, larger desk. I'd like to move the AP over to
the rack and place it on the top shelf - it'll either have to sit beside a
server i have there or on top of it - and will be with in a couple of feet
or so of several other computers. Will that affect my range or anything?
