Ah. It hadn't occurred to me that that was a possibility - all the
routers I've used have been set manually - but I suppose for the LOLs
running B&Bs there's an advantage to having the router automatically set
the channel to the least congested channel available. So I'll retract
my suggestion that the router's hacked (though, I'd be a little
surprised if it isn't - that just isn't the likely reason for a problem
:-) Any router operated by somebody with so little knowledge, in an
urban area, is probably being used illegitimately).
