You can change the wireless channels that the routers and other wifi gear
transmit on from within their web setup utilitys.
You may suffer low signals depending on the structure of your house and the
distance between machines. If that happens though you can fix it wiha
repeater or a high range wifi antenna.

Douglas,
In theory you can go completely wireless. However let us
suppose that for some reason, your PC and router end up on
different wireless channels, you can be up the creek without
a paddle, so to speak.
As regards not running a Router from an extension, this is
yet another urban myth. Both my office and home have
routers at least 50 feet away from the main incoming
telephone point, and I get quite normal transmission speeds.
George.

Subject: [access-uk] Another "wireless connection" query
Currently my main BT socket is in a room downstairs at one
end of the house with several additional extension sockets
in upstairs rooms
mainly at the opposite end of the house. It is one of the
latter
which I use for dial up connections to both of my computers.
If
switching to broadband I would be quite happpy to have cable
connections from a router connected to the extension socket
but I have been told several times that it is unwise to use
an extension socket for the purpose.
Reading the current thread led me to consider the
possibility of having the router etc. downstairs and
connecting both computers to it wirelessly. However I was a
little concerned by the following sentence in one of
George´s messages -
"Many reasons, not least being that wireless can
occasionally suffer breakdown due to all manner of reasons."
I wonder whether relying entirely on wireless connection to
a router at the other end of the house could lead me to wish
that I was back on dial up!
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Douglas
