Channel Deployment Issues for 2.4-GHz 802.11 WLANS

an investigation by cisco into some of the details of interference. over my head in places, but what i followed i found interesting.

in my apartment there were enough people on the default channels that i was unable to connect to my ap from a few feet away. i changed to a channel that looked empty and have had decent connectivity since. i didn't do a follow-up investigation, but came away from the experience with the feeling that it's better to try to fit in the spaces between when there are a lot of people on the defaults.

n.b. this is anecdotal and i am not a wifi expert by any means...
