We've done some research. In the process this is what I've uncovered:

Higher numbered channels are higher frequency. The energy of an
electromagnetic wave is proportional to frequency (related by Planck's
constant), so the higher channels tend to do ever so slightly better
after absorption
when you're trying to cover some distance. Slightly…

Is this likely to be relevant?

I've come across a recommendation that you should try and keep to a
channel that's 3 away from other networks, and browsing our list that
means we want 8 or 9.

Is this to be favoured over, say, 5? Or is there really very little in it?
