Unfortunately that only works if the other APs are using the exact same channel, rather than an adjacent-but-overlapping one. It'd be great if consumer routers

Unfortunately that only works if the other APs are using the exact same channel, rather than an adjacent-but-overlapping one. It'd be great if consumer routers would only allow use of channel 1, 6, or 11, to avoid the usual situation where there is APs on every single channel interfering with each other rather than co-operating.
- ryao 10y agoI have a neighbor on channel 5. I have thought of discussing it with them, but being across the street, the signals are so weak that I am not sure if interference is possible.
- rincebrain 10y agoPossible, yes. Impactful, probably not.
- rahimnathwani 10y agoSo if I have neighbours all channels except channel 7, am I better off choosing channel 6 or 8, than I would be if I chose the 'empty' channel 7?
- Bromskloss 10y agoWhy are there overlapping channels in the first place?
