You're pretty lucky. I live in an apartment complex. There are at
least six other 802.11b/g networks visible from my location. It took a
lot of experimentation before I found a channel that was clear enough
that I could even get SDTV to play smoothly over 802.11g, and if I
connect any 802.11b clients to my network it all goes to pot again.
Complicating things is 802.11's spread-spectrum modulation -- the signal
is actually 3 channels wide, so there aren't nearly as many usable
channels as it would appear at first glance.
