Hi Larry, If i try channel 1 and 6, will i be able to use

have Panasonic high-quality (made in japan) cordless phone but it's
just powered on with no use when this freeze happens.

Some cordless phones scan the spectrum even when not in use. Yes, channels 1 or 6 work equally well
with 802.11g.

Also, what do you mean that updating drivers make change on firmware?
Firmware changes device inside software as it flashes newer and it can
destroy. I know drivers are different than firmwares, drivers only
talk between OS and device to function properly. Installing a new
driver does not mean that i flash my device's firmware as far as i
know. So?

The firmware for a BCM43xx chip is _NOT_ in flash memory. It is stored in some sort of RAM, is
embedded within the Windows driver, and is reloaded every time you start the device.

Hi again Larry!,
Thanks for the support so far. I changed channel number from 11 to 6
inside my router (192.168.1.1).

But i think i also have to change some channel settings of my Broadcom
driver from ''device manager'' in Windows.

There are 2 settings in ''advanced'' tab in my Broadcom wi-fi
adapter's driver settings, they are:
IBSS channel number
WZC IBSS channel number, they are set to 11 still. But my router is
changed to 6 and i can surf with these settings.

But do i have to ALSO change the channel numbers to 6 inside drivers
settings and which ones above?

Thank you,

Regards...
