Today I was helping a friend set up a simple network at his apartment using an old Netgear WGR614 router feeding one wired computer and also acting as a wireless AP. I did a site survey and chose to use channel 1 because it seemed to be the least occupied. Everything works great and the wireless coverage is more than adequate in his apartment. While I was looking at the site survey on Inssider I was thinking, is it best or better to choose one of the end channels in the band either 1 or 11 vs 6? Since the end ones only have channels on one side or the other and not both are they better about interference from other channels?
