[dba-Tech] For Rocky - Wireless Networking

Gary:

If Mr. Wu and I are interfering with each other (I'm going to go across the
street and meet him in a bit) would changing to 11g solve the problem?

Would securing my wireless with encryption and changing the SSID (whatever
that means) and limiting the MAC address (whatever that is), solve the
problem on 11b?

Rocky
