[brlug-general] Wanted - old cheap wifi access points

[Tim Fournet]

Here's a little tidbit of info that may help you:
There are really only 3 non-overlapping WiFi channels: 1,6, and 11.
Each channel uses 6 frequency bands in the WiFi range, so when there is 
overlap, performance is degraded as those bands are unused.
