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 AP uses only that channel until you
change the channel setting again. For the 5 GHz radio, the default channel depends on
the region.
Note: You do not need to change the WiFi channel unless you experience interference
(which is indicated by lost connections).
Note: If you use multiple WiFi access points in your network, or your AP is close to
another one, reduce interference by selecting different channels for adjacent access
points. We recommend a channel spacing of four channels between adjacent access
points (for example, for 2.4 GHz radios, use channels 1 and 5, or 6 and 10).
To change the channel for a radio:
1. Connect your computer or mobile device to the AP in one of the following ways
• Connect directly to the AP's WiFi network or LAN. (Applies to the AP in either
operation mode.)
• Connect to the same network that the AP is connected to. (Applies only if the AP
is operating in AP mode.)
2. Launch a web browser and enter http://www.routerlogin.net in the address field.
Instead, if you are connected to same network as the AP, enter the LAN IP address
that is assigned to the AP. For information about finding the IP address, see Find the
IP address of the AP when you cannot use routerlogin.net on page 34.
A login window displays.
If your browser displays a security warning, dismiss the warning. For more information,
see Dismiss a browser security warning on page 39.
3. Enter the AP local device password.
The local device password is the one that you specified. The local device password
is case-sensitive.
