Non-overlapping channel (1/6/11) isn't always optimal
Just found another case where a non-overlapping channel isn't optimal:
- Router: Hawking HWR54G Rev M with latest firmware (Version 1.0 Release 11)
- PC Card: NETGEAR WG511v1 with latest drivers
- Host: IBM ThinkPad T30 running Windows XP SP2
- Fairly weak signal due to intervening walls.
- Interference from neighbors on channels 1, 6, and 10
After considerable experimentation, I found that I couldn't get a reliable connection on any of the non-overlapping channels (1, 6, 11), but that I could get a reliable connection on channel 3.
I've previously reported a case with similar characteristics where I also got the best results with the router (D-Link DI-624) on channel 3.
