Default Router Questions

I have a couple of questions regarding my router. I'm using a SafeCom router.

1> If I change my WAP password how will that affect our laptop as it is running through the router.

2> What is the best Channel Number? I have mine on 1. I ask this question because I also use my PSP via the router and I've heard that changing the Channel number improves your connection when playing games online.

If you are using WAP to secure your wireless then you will need to change the laptop accodingly.

Most routers are set to channel 6. As this is middle of the frequency in the US. If you are having conflicts (ie..cordless phone, near by router, ect.) then changing channels helps. If your PSP is near your router then I see no benifit to changing.
