Wireless Channel Choice

[#1]

I use inSSIDer and have a D-link DSL2640b wireless connected to my laptop.... works very well, however the inSSIDer shows 2 other D-Link routers on the same channel as me , channel 6.  (all are WPA-TKIP secured). the other two have a very low signal level, compared to mine (which is about 3 feet away from the laptop).
Also showing is 1 on channel 11 , one on channel 10, and three on channel 1.
RSSI showing for me , is -32 and all the others are above -84.... according to the signal strength graph, none of the others comes anywhere near my trace... so possibly I am not getting interference from them...would that be the case?
or should I change my channel,... but.. if I do... which one, as currently the three on channel one, seem to over lap to channel 3,  the two on channel 10 and 11 overlap from 8 to 13, where as the three D-link (including mine) overlap from 4 to 8.
.Any advice/thoughts on the situation?

dont think you have much choice, what sort of signal levels are on the other channels?

I must be lucky

The signal levels look pretty low compared to mine.... as mentioned above.... "none of the others comes anywhere near my trace"....

my one on Channel 6 is weird, it keeps on changing, numbers and graph it goes to 6-10 for a few seconds, any one know what that is  (thats the Netgear)

802.11n/MIMO routers use more than one channel if set to 'wide' (40mhz) operation. Such routers are supposed to monitor the use of channels by other routers and not use the secondary channel if it might result in a conflict. The lack of distinct operating channels (basically 3 - channels 1, 6 and 11) available in the 2.4Ghz frequency is another good reason to use routers (or APs) operating at 5Ghz. Wikipedia has a half-decent explanation.

Yeah!.... like you said Pierre..... weird...
