Actually, your best bet might be to put it on ch 6 and change the SSID to linksys, as well as lowering the power to minimum tolerable. Although if it is really a linksys you will likely need 3rd party firmware to crank down the power.

Actually the new style black Linksys routers are low powered with internal antenna. I don't know if the style update has anything to do with what you just mentioned.
