Localise settings for NetStumbler

11:37AM Sarah Stokely | Recently we told you our Top 10 Wi-Fi Boosts, Tweaks and Apps. Reader Krusher_00 commented with a handy localisation tip for using NetStumbler for detecting networks: “Make sure you’ve got the correct channel selected. In Australia the standard is to use either channel 1, 6 or 11 as these are the only 3 channels that don’t interfere with each other. If you see your neighbours have points on 1, 3 and 5 for example then your wireless is going to be affected if you decide to use channel six. You can however have points on the same channel, this just decreases the maximum throughput that can be achieved (more noticeable if they’re using their wireless all the time).” Thanks for the tip, Krusher. :)  More »
