Change the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, or 6 GHz WiFi
channel
You can change the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz , or 6 GHz WiFi channel.
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 channels
as distant from each other as possible to reduce interference.
NOTE: If you change the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, or 6 GHz channel, the change also
applies to the guest network.
To change the WiFi channel:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the
router network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
