(question) 11 WiFi channels -- which one?

[Bob Jonkman]

Check your environment for competing WiFi signals from neighbours, &c.
You'll want to pick the channel that has the least interference.  A WiFi
signal tends to splat itself across three channels, so pick a channel
that has lots of room on either side, too.

I find the InSSIDer tool from Metageek useful for determining free WiFi 
space. http://www.metageek.net/products/inssider/  (caution: 
Javascrippled Web pages and Mono-dependent application)
