Find the Best Broadcast Channel for a Stronger Wi-Fi Connection
Permalink   

Your wireless router broadcasts your Wi-Fi signal on channels ranging from 1 to 11.* As more routers broadcast on the same channel as yours, your router's performance generally decreases. The solution: Scan for the least crowded channels and use one of those.

If you're used to seeing countless Wi-Fi networks when you scan for a connection at your home or workplace, there's a good chance your wireless connection is broadcasting on the same channel as those other routers (unless you changed the default). At his home away from Lifehacker, the How-To Geek details how to change your Wi-Fi router channel to optimize your signal using previously mentioned inSSIDer to determine which channels are most and least crowded. He then explains how to switch your broadcasting channel on Linksys routers. (The method will vary from router to router, but finding and changing your router's channel is normally a pretty simple process.)
