At the new place Inssider showed 21 wireless networks.  Six of us were on the same channel and rest were on two other channels.

Surprise, surprise.... :)

Let me guess, you were on 6 and the other two groups were on 1 and 11? :)

That's right ... Channels 6,11 & 1 were being used by 18 of the 21 APs ...  :O

Hush now. I've got flippin' dialup. It's 1996 in my house!


You also don't have any bacon.  I thought you were going to make a coffee can antenna to steal high-speed interewebz from the down-trodden South Cacalackey Taxpayers?   Too busy directing traffic to MacGyver something together yet?
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Currently at residence #1 inssider shows me as using channels 7 and 11 ... I have my own netflix router on this network ... a few days ago it showed this router as broadcasting on channel 1 ... I didn't change it.  Can a router change its channel w/o my input and what does it mean for inssider to show two channels at the same time ?

Thanks ....

Some of the new ones are dual channel

When you reboot the new channel is set until you log in and change it.

Maybe you left the passwords at the default and someone changed it?
