Advice for Network at House

[Samir]

For your own WIFI networks, change channels to whatever has the most open airspace on it, even if it's 'illegal'. The other thing to do will be to max out the power on yours to drown out your neighbors.

I forgot, as far as bandwidth goes, we have 100mbps down and 5 mbps up cable through Charter. I wish I could have something better, but I don't want to pay for any business class stuff, and the only other internet is DSL at 10mbps down and 2mbps up.

Be happy! My best choice for ISP is Time Warner and that's $45/mo for just 15 down and 1 up! Faster is too much more $$$

Which part? The channels? Or the power?

What would you advise?

That's pretty healthy on the download side. If you're not doing too much uploading, the 5 shouldn't get maxed out too often.
