Channel conflict?

Hi

I need to connect to a WLAN on channel 11 - and my WLAN has got about
65% signal strength.

Problem is that another WLAN is nearby with 100% signal, also on
channel 11.

So I cant connect to my preferred WLAN.

Any ideas?

Antenna. Or, more simply, figure out which direction the other signal
is coming from and put in a reflector the reduces that signal
reaching you whilst leaving free the path between you and your AP.

Ceci, ce n'est pas une idée.

The best idea would be to change the SSID. See the manual for details.
Some client software supports setting a prefered AP. That may also work.

If your network and another are both trying to use Channel 11 in close
proximity to each other, neither of you is going to have wonderful
performance. One of you should change to channels 1 or 6 (the only
non-overlapping 11b/g channels are 1, 6 & 11). If for some reason you're
locked into channel 11 (which is a little hard to believe), perhaps you can
politely ask the owner of the other network to change channels.

good luck,
