[QUOTE="Eric Eskam, post: 101546, member: 2124"] Re: Interface cards - Airport Extreme If you aren't careful more routers will make things worse - overlap is very, very bad! You would manually have to set them to 1, 6 and 11 to get non-overlapping channels and you would also have to hope no one around you was using any of those bands either. Your much better off doing a quick site survey to see which of those three channels is the least busy, and then hope some idiot with a personal wifi hotspot doesn't pop up later and hog the channel you picked :P the 802.11ac stuff has some auto-channel hopping technology that will greatly help with all this crap - if you find yourself constantly running into channel interference stuff, pray that Apple and Android manufacturers embrace ac in portable devices quickly. Apple is one of the few shipping an ac access point too - but that should be changing now that ac radio chipsets are becoming more common.
