[QUOTE="IvanLasston, post: 1029832, member: 145676"] Think of it like radio stations. Everyone is transmitting on the same channel. If you are far enough apart it doesn't matter. Once you get close - you start interfering with each other. So even though no one is on your network, those 9 other networks could be interfering with you. So change your channel to 1 or 11 and see if it helps. Unfortunately I don't have a good answer for turning off/on the airport. I can see multiple networks near me as well and my macbook air does have the same problem. My macbookpro - not as much. By the way you can add the wifi to your menu bar so it is easier to turn on an off - if you don't have that setup already. [/QUOTE]
