Hi Michelle,
You're very welcome.
If at some point in the future you sense your perfomance has dropped, use inssider to see if there are now more APs, signal strengths have changed, or if others have changed their channels. Adjust your channel as necessary for best performance.
Glad it's worked out well.
Ken

Hi Ken,
I just set the Cradlepoint to automatic channel select and it went to channel 11
right on top of someone else's so I set it back to channel 1 and will use inSSIDer
from now on to choose my channel.
Thank you so much,

Hi Michelle,
If everyone's access points (AP) are manually configured, it looks like the people tried to configure their AP to be on a different channel, which is best to do. Since all of the 3 channels are 'in use', you could either put your AP in Auto and see what channel the unit selects. If it is able to automatically select the channel that provides the best performance on-the-fly, then I'd leave it there. If you see that this is not true, then it's a balancing act between the channel that has the fewest 'users' and the channel that has the weakest signal strength of the strongest for each channel. What you're trying to do is find a channel where your AP has the least amount of interference from other APs.
hth,
Ken
