OT: Weirdness With WiFi Access Point

[Stephen]

good point -xxDbm is lower is better it is essentially a
representation of signal loss.

and for the channel, the idea situation is to find a chennle that has
nothing on it or its direct neighbor, so if you have traffic on 1, 3,
8, and 10, 5 is good because it and 6/4 are empty and have no
interference.
