Thx

If 2 or more APs are running on the same channel, then you'll have the same interference problem I described in my initial post here on RF strength between two adjacent APs. The reason why the auto setting normally works in regular home settings is that the manufacturers have never intended on having two or more of these type of wireless devices running in the same home setting on the same network. While the procedure to set up multiple SOHO wireless routers on the same network given by the trusted advisors and moderators here are valid and will work, a greater understanding of what implications are of running two or more independent APs will need to be carefully considered for optimal network performance.
