Hi,
I wanted to change my router's wireless channel number to avoid a
possible signal interference resulting with strange freezes, then i
changed from 11 to 6. I changed successfully.

However under advanced tab which is in my wireless adapter's driver
page(device manager), IBSS channel number and WZC IBSS channel number
are stayed at 11(they were default though).

However, with this settings i experienced strange freeze problem again
while downloading(also i cannot reach to 192.168.1.1, but doing
disable/enable or ''repair'' fixes this). Then i wanted to change
channel number to 6 from driver page on my wi-fi adapter also. The
computer locked and XP couldn't shut down, after restarting computer,
the channel of wi-fi adapter(Broadcom BCM4318) is set to 6.

Now i am on channel 6 both for router and wi-fi adapter.

The thing i'm surprised: Before setting channels 6 for BOTH
devices(router and wi-fi adapter), Although my router is broadcasting
wi-fi on channel 6, WHY was i connecting and surfing although my wi-fi
adapter's channel settings were set to 11 before?


I hope you understood.

Thank you...
