Topic: Change the Channel

[Bloodworth]

Those of you hip to Wi-Fi have probably already gotten your network running smooth, but I'm still learning, so I'll give out another tip for others like me.  If you're getting a lot of disconnects from problems "outside the network" you may be having interference on the current channel your router's broadcasting on.  Go into your settings and change the channel to see if you can find one that gives a cleaner signal.  I just did it tonight, and I haven't been disconnected since.

My suggestion is try to keep the router away from sources that also transmit radio waves, such as TV's, wireless telephones, mobile/cell phones and radio's.

Walking the range of other devices can possibly cause an effect, but not as much as putting the router near to those mentioned ^above.
