Change The Channel For A Radio - NETGEAR MR70 User Manual

Nighthawk Mesh WiFi 6 System with MR70 router and MS70 satellite

Change the channel for a radio

The available WiFi channels and frequencies depend on the region or country and the
radio. For the 2.4 GHz radio, the default is Auto, which means that the radio automatically
selects the most suitable channel. When you select a particular channel, the channel
selection becomes static, which means that the uses only that channel until you change
the channel setting again. For the 5 GHz radio, the default is channel 44.
Note: You do not need to change the WiFi channel unless you experience interference
(which is indicated by lost connections). If you do notice interference, reduce it by
selecting different channels for adjacent WiFi routers or access points. We recommend
a channel spacing of four channels between WiFi routers or access points (for example,
for 2.4 GHz radios, use channels 1 and 5, or 6 and 10).
