WiFi Router Channel Selection? Rules?
Hi, is there anything Definitive on using Channels in your Router? I have heard and read that you should ONLY use channels 1, 6 or 11 BUT I have also heard that is nonsense so which is it please? I have like 15 people (neighbors) on channel one and another 12 on 6 and also on 11 and then I see like a random one on 7 and a few more on differing channels. What I have also read was NEVER to go to any channel besides 1, 6 or 11 or I will be giving interference out to my neighbors and then if that is true, what the heck do I do if I have neighbors all over the map like I have? Is that True about the interference? Should I go door to door handing out pamphlets explaining why we all need to be on 1, 6 or 11 or is that all BS? Please help. Thank you
