Identifying Broadband interference using AM radio tuned to 612 KHz

How to Identify Broadband Interference

A telephone engineer that was fitting a new master phone socket (in readiness for BT Infinity) used the radio tuned to 612 KHz on the medium wave to identify interference on the line - it turned out to be Solwise home plugs, which I have now ditched

I use inSSIDer and have updated some routers to a different channel
It is amazing how many people only use the default channel

I for one, wouldn't know any different!

I have a router and I merely switch it on or off, anything else is meaningless, UNLESS someone shows me how?

I don't think he means changing channels on a standard Ethernet switch/router, I think he means a WiFi  router that you get to connect your lappy.
