   My AP is using 2417 MHz ch 2, none of the nearby Aps are using it. The   
   second strongest is using 2437 MHz ch 6. That's with the Pi5 within   
   three feet of my AP. At the moment Wifi won't connect at all, though   
   both my cellphone and a second computer farther away connect successfully.   
      
   Another puzzle is that wavemon reports 5825 MHz ch 165 after the connect   
   process fails. The targeted access point uses only 2417, so it's as if   
   an unprompted search has started. Meanwhile my cellphone has no trouble   
   connecting to the AP, near or far.   
      
   There are 15 APs within range, most reporting ESS including mine. Anybody   
   know what ESS signifies?   
      
   Thanks for writing,
