If so - I think I'll just dump the wireless idea and go back to good old
cables!

Don't know those cards, are they using the WiFi frequencies around
2.5GHz? If so there are only 3 channels that don't mutually interfere
with each other (1, 6 and 11 IIRC).

Not strictly true.

There are 11 channels IIRC, and all to an extent interfere with each
other.

Not quite true

If you look here..

http://www.moonblinkwifi.com/2point4freq.cfm

1,2,3,4,5 are stacked, so channel 1 is not overlapped with Channels higher
then 5

6 is overlapped by 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10

11 is overlapped by 7,8,9,10,12,13,14

So 1 is the lest overlapped channel.
