Just to add to the fun lots of my neighbours only turn their routers on every now and then, the permutations are horrific in a building with only 9 apartments, although the buildings either side have some (extra 7 or 8) networks visible too! Most are on the same channel 12, must be "great" using those networks ;-)

Currently 5Ghz is completely free but not for long I'm sure, even 5Ghz N doesn't give me glitch free wireless HD on my laptop, cabled is fine, it does mean that ordinary network tasks work properly though.
