WiFi channel.
You can change the channel from the Mobile Hotspot Manager's WiFi > Options page.
Note: All connected devices will be disconnected and have to reconnect if the channel is changed.
1. In the Mobile Hotspot Manager, click WiFi > Options.
2. Select a different channel number in the WiFi Channel list, or, to have your device automatically
determine the channel to use, select Auto.
