This is my wireless site survey for my apartment. As you can see, there are a truck load of networks in my neighborhood. Presently my network is as follows

SSID: Racha Room
Router: WRT54GL
F/W: DD-WRT V.24 as a repeater for another network (SSID: belkin54g)

Now, as you can see from the image, I am on channel 11 which looks awfully busy. What is the best channel to change to? Channel 1 or 6? There are many networks on 6 but they all have lower strength and 1 looks a lot less congested.

So, what is the best channel to change to? Any help is really appreciated!

Thank you!

1 or 2 look like your best bet.
