Channel 48 also recommended.

If you have an old wireless cable router, like the ones supplied by VM before the Superhub came along, or even an old wireless ADSL router, you can connect it to your Superhub as a wireless access point. Then you can have both 5GHz and 2.4GHz bands operating at once. Search for my previous threads to find out how. It works fine for me as I would have the same problem as you otherwise. Except I have devices that cannot use a dongle so I don't even have that option.
