The channels are set to Auto.  2.4 is set to Ch.10, 5 is set to Ch.149 + 153(P) + 157 + 161

I will try to play around with channels today, like you suggested.

Besides my printer, there are two WiFi networks also showing -- a general Spectrum Mobile and one neighbor's of medium strength.

 

Let me know what you think, and I will also keep you updated.
