[Elecraft] How reliable an internet connection is needed for a K3 remote to work well?

Another solution if your hardware and router support it is to move to 5ghz. Much less chance of interference but wireless range is less.

Fortunately, this is one group I DON'T have to explain to about
overlapping frequencies.  See the picture--it will make it clear as day.
There are fundamentally (in the US) only 3 frequencies that correspond
to channels 1,6, and 11.  In Europe, you also get a 4th frequency on
channel 14.

Channels 12-14 are only legal outside the USA.
