    Thumbs up Problem fixed

    Yes, changing from auto to channel 6 fixed the problem.

    I'm still wondering why I can't use some channels, but that's not really a problem. Channel 6 works great.

    I noticed another thing relating to this problem: When WiFi is enabled but not used, the light blinks in a regular pattern. When the problem occurred, the WiFi light wasn't blinking. However, I was also sometimes able to connect when the light wasn't blinking. Now, the light never stops blinking. I guess the light is never supposed to stop blinking.

    that's probably because other wireless devices "probe" all the channels to update the available networks list.
    Even if no device is connected it still needs to respond saying "hi"
