I mentioned in another thread how much my wireless internet connection was affected by the microwave.
Well yesterday I solved the problem.
Firstly I upgraded the firmware.
Secondly I changed the channel.
Now I can actually surf without any apparent speed degradation while the microwave is on.
The router is a Netgear DG834G and although the manual does suggest changing channels if interference is a problem it does not explain what the channels are. Anyone care to enlighten me? Also how does the computer (mac) now which channel the router is using as I made no changes to the network setup on the computer? If the mac can pick up all/any channels why does the router not transmit on all the channels?
