[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1568467, member: 234411"] For [B]Bobtomay & Jake[/B] - I used [I]iStumbler[/I] on my Windows PCs back in those days, as I recall; will the program give me any more information than I'm seeing w/ [I]WiFi Explorer[/I] (screen capture shown a few below the one posted above), i.e. I'm seeing my neighbors' WiFi networks along w/ the channels being used? Also in that chart, my main network shows 2 channels, so I assume my AirPort Extreme router is automatically used 2 channels to broadcast (don't remember setting that feature up, so presume that it's a default?). Also, if I go into 'Net Utility', my link speed is shown to be 450 Mbps (assume that reflects use of 2 channels for Wi-Fi broadcast?). NOW that is all 'well & good' for transferring data around your devices w/i your home network but my 'bottleneck' is the speed Time-Warner is bringing into the house on their modem, i.e. about 20 Mbps - no way when I'm streaming from Netflix or Amazon that the much higher 'in-house' speed is going to help - kind of a pain! Thanks - Dave :) . [ATTACH=full]20185[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
