Nighthawk AXE7800 Tri-Band WiFi 6E Router Model RAXE300
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, in the 2.4 GHz band, use
Channels 1 and 5, or 6 and 10).
Note: If you are using a WiFi 6E device, use a Preferred Scanning Channel (PSC) to
prevent a situation in which your device cannot find the SSID. PSCs are a group of
20 MHz channels that are prioritized within the 6 GHz WiFi band. Instead of scanning
the entire 6 GHz spectrum for an optimal channel, WiFi 6E devices scan PSCs for
efficient connectivity. The PSCs on the router are channels 5, 21, 37 (default), 53, 69,
85, 101, 117, 133, 149, 165, 181, 197, and 213. The availability of the channels
depends on the region in which the router operates.
9. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
If you connected wirelessly to the network and you changed the SSID, you are
disconnected from the network.
10. Make sure that you can connect wirelessly to the network with its new settings.
If you cannot connect wirelessly, check the following:
• Is your computer or mobile device connected to another WiFi network in your
area? 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.
