Does switching the channel that a wireless router uses to one which no-one else with in range uses improve the performance of a wireless connection?
I downloaded a bit of software to scan wireless networks and there are about 8 other it picks up, 5 of which share the same channel as me.
Is it just a matter of changing the channel number in the wireless router settings – I assume all my connected devices still just use the SSID and the auth code to login and will need nothing changed if I switched channel (maybe a reboot?).
I don't broadcast the SSID as I read also that this improves performance as other devices aren't trying to connect all the time.
