We have two sets of 802.11g devices in the house.

One, our wireless router, provides general 802.11b/g (mixed mode) service to the house for roaming laptops and pocket PCs. It uses channel 11.

The other set is a decided trio of wireless access points that are bridging to one other, and bridge sections of the house together for non-wireless devices, such as some desktop PCs, the gaming consoles, and the Audiotron. It uses channel 1, in G-only mode, with a different SSID.

Everything works well together when things are quiet. However, if the bridges get saturated (for instance, a desktop PC is talking across the bridge to the server PC, and pulling tons of files), then the other general purpose devices fall off the wireless router.

What I don't get is that these things are supposed to be isolated from each other. They're 10 channels apart, twice as much as they need to be to prevent interference. But they still interfere. Anybody have any clues? If so, please drop me a line and let me know where I've gone wrong...
