I just came across a problem with my wireless router whereas about an hour ago it stopped transmistting it's SSID to the other computer and laptop, as it turns out the problem was with me leaving it on it's default channel 11 because almost every other networks around my neighbourhood seemed to be using channel 6.
There must be some problem with my router as I've specifically read that channels you should try and use channels 1,6 and 11 as the radio frequencies don't overlap.

P.S Channel 6 works fine and the other computer is able to connect to it fine but with channel 11 the connection constantly drops.

I was using channel 11 for a week or so until now neither channel 1 works.
It's known that's it's better off to use a less congested channel but I can't use anything else.

On my router, Channels 11-13 are reserved for USA connections aparently? Dunno what that means, but I'm using the default Channel 6
