This is technically incorrect. Industry best practice is to use channels 1, 6, and 11, because this maximises the number of non-overlapping channels available for use. In actuality, however, any two channels in the 2.4 GHz ISM band are considered non-overlapping if they are at least five channels apart. Thus channels 1 and 6 are non-overlapping–but so are 2 and 7, 3 and 8, and so on.

While a site survey is beyond the means of most soho users, in order to determine which channels are in use nearby (and therefore which channel would be best for one’s WAP) it would probably be most advisable to run Kismet in order to determine the operating channels and signal strength of nearby APs. Armed with this information, one can better assess the wireless landscape and determine whether there is a non-overlapping channel available, or whether one must make do with a channel that is partially overlapping or at worst more sparsely populated than the rest.

In this link you can find a copy of the project template: http://www.freeantennas.com/projects/template2/index.html

See you all ;)
