This happens in public too.... My Android phone has a great app WiFi Analyzer that shows every wireless network and what channel it is on...
Is it as simple as changing my routers to an unused channel? I know nothing about channels but is it literally if 2 network devices are say on Channel 9 they will block each other unless one changes to an unused channel? I use a 3g Android hotspot (Sprint) and a 4g Android hotspot (T-Mobile) and they are as unreliable to connect to via iPad and iTouch as the ones at home - I am researching being able to change those channels....

seems to explain some of this.... I just wondered if people on the group had any experience with iTouch/iPad connectivity problems...
Do I need to buy something like this for the iPad...

Is their something free or built-in that will help?

is a thread I will work my way through as well but hoping for some tips from veterans here...
in an apartment or dormitory or condo one may find as many as 12 or more. if neighbors are nice they can possibly be used for testing.

I cannot help but wonder why someone would have 5 distinct networks on one home.
