It doesn't matter TBH
As long as the signal is not being interfered with

Anything that all your neighbours aren't using is good
iirc 6 is the most unique in frequency terms, if yours is different to all the others it's easier for your devices to pick out.
An app like WiFi Analyser on your phone will show what's around.

Right, so you thought you were getting interference, so you changed channel
Then you changed it back to the channel you were getting interference on?

what?

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 20 Nov 2012, 11:25, Reply)

Why did you change channels?

( Kroney, Tue 20 Nov 2012, 11:26, Reply)

I get 10 mg wired and 0.5 on wireless today
so thought I try and re-configure...or something

So shits and giggles, then.
Why did you change channels the first time?
( Kroney, Tue 20 Nov 2012, 11:28, Reply)

did I do it once before...

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 20 Nov 2012, 11:29, Reply)

Haha fucking hell.
How do you think you knew how to do it this time?

Your first post was this:

Then you posted this:

Indicating that you changed channels before. The only reason you'd bother changing channels is if you thought you were getting interference from another wireless router. Which I'm pretty sure you were the last time yyou were talking about your router on here. Therefore, you changed it back to a channel on which you previously thought you were getting interference. My question is why?

no you're confused, it was on 11, I moved it to 6
I also took my mobile off the router, which may have helped

OK, so you posted the wrong thing in one of your posts, fair enough.
Maybe, it depends on how often it was using data. If you had GPS on, for example, it would route that through the wireless.

I thought the microwaves from the phone, interferred with my wireless microwaves?

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 20 Nov 2012, 11:38, Reply)

Yes, they created a device that ostensibly can connect to wireless networks
whilst simultaneously was fundamentally incompatible with them.
( Kroney, Tue 20 Nov 2012, 11:41, Reply)

maybe I need to move the router away from the microwave then, that can't help

You are the sort of user that gets me regularly pulled into
my boss's office for being rude to the customers.
