Here's something that's been bugging me ever since I saw it. I've been meaning to ask someone how it could be!?

While on vacation for the 4th of July in Atlanta, GA, I saw a banner touting "free wireless internet access" at a hotel located in the Buckhead area.  Before heading home, I stopped by with my notebook and asked them if I could test it. When I fired up my LinkSys 802.11b site survey utility, I was surprised to see four access points all on channel 10! I didn't move about any as I was just sitting in their lobby for a few minutes, but all four of them had mac addresses and each had very good signal strength.

How could this be?  I mean wouldn't four APs all on the same channel this close together really screw things up?  This goes against everything I've read about using the 3 available non-overlapping 802.11b channels.
