Mobility Site - View Single Post - How do I get my Wireless to access the correct channel

I tried switching the channel on my Dlink Router but that did not work...in fact the Dell Wlan utility now reported that it was not trying to use WPA or WEP to access the NW...also found out that if I change to any channel other than 6 would drop me down to 54 Mbs instead of 108 Mbs - not a big deal with a PPC but with my laptop I'm used to LAN speeds with G+ so I wanted to use channel 6.

I played around then remembered that the Odyssey Client looked interesting. I tried using that instead, went through a minute of configuration and it worked! I'd recommend trying the Odyssey Client instead of Dell Wlan - it worked much better for me than Dell's utily.
