    1.Original question:  is it "better" to use a different channel for   
   an AP than the one the main router is on?   
   2. Router: ASUS RT-66W AP: Ubiquiti UniFi AP (that's all it says for   
   model number) Cell phone: Samsung Galaxy S7 running a free Ap called   
   WiFi Analyzer.   
   Walls between router and location of WiFi reception (kitchen) 2   
   exterior and 2 interior. Interior walls sheetrock, exterior walls   
   brick.   
   Wall between location of Ubiquiti AP and kitchen: 1 interior.   
      
   Problem: slow response when using the tablet in the kitchen. Much   
   poorer internet response than I get from any of the computers, but the   
   computers connect via ethernet Cat 5.   
      
   (I got the AP because of low signal in the kitchen.... partly solved   
   by adding the Ubiquiti in the den, several years ago)   
   	   
   So far, after replacing the old router (Cradlepoint MBR-1000) I've   
   tried the ASUS wireless and with the Ubiquiti on (both on Ch 6 2.4   
   GHz), With the Ubiquiti off, with the Ubiquiti on Ch 6 and the ASUS on   
   Ch 1, and in terms of actual performance, I can't see much difference,   
   but that might be because my "broadband" internet service is so poor.   
   The internet service problem is unsolvable, I'm either stuck with the   
   WISP I'm using or switch to satellite, which I used to have and   
   discarded years ago.   
      
   From what I've learned so far;   
   If I have to use the AP and the router wireless, it's probably better   
   to have them on different channels, at least separated like 1 & 6.   
   My signal strength with the Asus wireless in the far end of the house   
   is marginal, so if I have any problems they could be resolved by using   
   the AP in the Den. For now, I'm running on just the ASUS. I'll try   
   that for a while, and compare to running with the AP.
