Hi all,

This is the situation i'm having right now at my place:



'gbit6wlan' is my SSID.
My RB is RB2011UAS-2HnD.
Currently using CH1+5 in 802.11n mode @2.4Ghz.
What channel would you suggest I choose? CH13 is out of the question since not all of my clients seem to support it.
Currently I'm getting 7/15Mbps only.
Is it even worth using 40MHz (2ch) in my case due to so many overlapping networks?

I guess, you could choose channel 3 or 4. Also you can reduce the channel width but it depends of your needs.

So far i know using channels other than 1, 6 and 11 (actually 1, 5, 9, 13 for 11g) @2.4G is a big no-no as it brings more interference due to the fact single connection uses ~20MHz width and each channel is only 5MHz.

But.. I'm at rather loose terms with my knowledge on wireless networks so hopefully someone can give me a better hint.
Not sure if i should stick to those non-overlapping channels as some networks already use overlapping ones.

This is mainly because I'm getting terrible speeds.
