Its not that easy though is it because channels overlap?
There are really only 3 channels you can use 1, 6 and 11 or 1, 5, 9 and 13 if you dont mind a bit of overlap.

then you get some tart like me using up 2 channels for n and you have even less space to play with.

Its a stupid situation that should never have happened.

It gets worse, bluetooth pokes its nose into the same frequencies and bluetooth 3 makes it even worse.

then the chap next door with his 2.4ghz video sender so he can watch his TV in bed could cause you interference.

Wifi is just a mess.
