In some regions, not all channels are available. Do not change the channel unless
you experience interference (shown by lost connections or slow data transfers). If
this happens, experiment with different channels to see which is the best.
When you use multiple access points, it is better if adjacent access points use different
channels to reduce interference. The recommended channel spacing between
adjacent access points is four channels (for example, use Channels 1 and 5, or
6 and 10).

disconnected from the network.
11. Make sure that you can reconnect over WiFi to the network with its new settings.
If you cannot connect over WiFi, check the following:
• Is your computer or mobile device already connected to another WiFi network
in your area? If so, disconnect it from that WiFi network and connect it to the WiFi
network that the router provides. Some WiFi devices automatically connect to
the first open network without WiFi security that they discover.
• Is your computer or mobile device trying to connect to your network with its old
settings (before you changed the settings)? If so, update the WiFi network
selection in your computer or mobile device to match the current settings for
your network.
• Does your computer or mobile device display as an attached device? If it does,
it is connected to the network.
• Are you using the correct network name (SSID) and WiFi password?

The WiFi password is the one that you use to connect to the router's WiFi network so
that you can access the Internet and other shared network resources.
Your router comes with preset WPA2-PSK security. We recommend that you use the
preset security. The preset WiFi password is on the router label, but you can customize
the WiFi password for greater security.
