    Crowded WiFi Questions

    Don't use 5GHz in that scenario. I know the 2.4 band is crowded, but the higher the frequency, the less wall [floor/ceiling] penetration. Use 2.4GHz, run a wireless scan tool, I like INSSIDer, and set for either channel 1, 6, or 11. Use 20MHz width, not 40 and you should be good. Never...
