Never mind, I see what you mean - you want to be able to connect to your network (not other people's network) from a distance. I choose a channel that I suspect most people aren't on.

Too many people all on the same channel at the same time.

As for getting on my own WiFi...that is me being concerned about my security for my data. Many people are not aware that 802.11x can go well over 15 miles with the proper antenna.
