Change the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz WiFi channel

You can change the 2.4 GHz or 5 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 different
channels to reduce interference. The recommended channel spacing between adjacent
access points is four channels (for example, for the 2.4 GHz radio band, use channels
1 and 5, or 6 and 10).
Note: If you change the 2.4 GHz or 5 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.
A login window displays.
3. Enter the router admin user name and password.
