Re: Superhub 3 - best/optimal wireless channel?
14? Don't think we're allowed that one!

Yes, I use Wifi Analyzer on Android - but you also need to back it up with Speedtest (OOkla) - I find that there is a clear channel which is absolutely useless, but scored as a good choice by Analyzer as it can't see non-Wifi interference.

It is also regrettable that we seem to end up on the US 1-11 default of 1, 6, 11 - as with the UK/EU 1-13, channels 1, 5, 9, 13 (and in rare circumstances, wide 1+5 & 9+13) would be a better choice, giving four non-overlapping channels and the option of two wide or 1 wide plus 2 narrow

One other thing - Wifi analyser is confused if you have a second SSID - it treats it as a congestion and will apply that penalty to the current channel even if nothing else is sharing
