1 edit | My 'Neighborhood' (Sigh) A Couple years ago I moved from 2Ghz to 5Ghz. I kept being 'stepped on'.
Every now and then I check to see how the 'neighborhood' is doing.
Today:
Ch1 One 35%
CH5 One 50%
CH6 Seven (all reporting 40-80%)
CH11 One 50%
and me 'somewhere else'!!  !
They are getting better.... Only half are open.... Used to be 80+%

LOL! "I moved from 2 to 5" made me think GHz instead of channels.
For all practical purposes, the 802.11g 2.4GHz band is 3 data channels at roughly channels 1, 6 and 11. For reasons no commercial interest would tolerate, it was split into 11 overlapping channels.
Gee, they should have done 100 channels and make people feel even better - then we'd be using 1, 50 and 100. 
The difference between channels 5 and 6 are practically meaningless. If anything significant is gained being on channel 5 vs. 6 then your data is fooling you.
5GHz is possibly the place to be by yourself in a lot of places right now. But everyone's mileage will vary. |

| while being at 5Ghz is really awesome, the distance between the wireless access point and a wireless device seems to be shorter compared to 2.4Ghz  |

Added Ghz, Ch#, and Sig Strength %.... Laughter continues...
Actually, I'm Glad 5Ghz doesn't go as far.....
So far, no one has joined me!! But I see they've started to grow 'guest channels'!!

[OT] I lived in Skokie as a kid (in the 60's). Do they still have the ~something~ "Swift" train that runs through there?
