In your case. channel 11, might interference with channel 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and channel 6 will be 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. Channel 3 would work within channel 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and it will not interference with your neighbors AP. Hope that help. - Julian - Hi Jakc Stilich,

For me, I would change my channel down to channel 3.. as the AP allowing +/-2 from the channel.

In your case. channel 11, might interference with channel 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and channel 6 will be 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

Channel 3 would work within channel 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and it will not interference with your neighbors AP.

Hope that help.

Holding down the option key while clicking Airport icon let me see the checked Network's PHY Mode, BSSID, Channel, Security, etc. I'm still wondering if there is any easy way to change channel. Example: My neighbor and I are both on channel 11, next door is on 6, all with the same cable company and living very close to each other. What do you recommend I change the channel to?

For that you need a tool like these. John Well, you’re right, but sometimes you need to troubleshoot a network and actually see information such as the strength, channel, etc. of a signal.

Do you actually need a separate application to automate the search for available network? I mean whenever I bring my Mac around, my airport will auto detect any available network in the vicinity. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Yan I don’t get it. Do you actually need a separate application to automate the search for available network?
