WN3500Rp channel designation

3. same security setup (wpa2/AES) being best (tkip slower)
These 3 easy guidelines to follow should make it possible for you to skype/ovoo/viber without losing connection while "hopping" between AP's or router"

So meanwhile, tell your opposite party to "hold" while your skype will try to reconnect ... very professional ... uche uche .. :p lol
