Change the channel for a radio

The available WiFi channels and frequencies depend on the country that you select for
the access point and the radio. The default is Auto, which enables a radio to automatically
select the most suitable channel.
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 access points, reduce interference by selecting different
channels for adjacent access points. We recommend a channel spacing of four channels
between adjacent access points (for example, in the 2.4 GHz band, use channels 1 and
5, or 6 and 10).
To change the channel for a radio:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as
the access point or directly to the access point through an Ethernet cable or WiFi
connection.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the access point.
A login window displays.
If your browser displays a security warning, you can proceed, or add an exception
for the security warning. For more information, see What to do if you get a browser
security warning on page 39.
3. Enter the access point user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified. The user name
and password are case-sensitive.
If you previously added the access point to a NETGEAR Insight network location and
managed the access point through the Insight app or Insight Cloud portal, enter the
Insight network password for that location. For more information, see Connect over
WiFi using the NETGEAR Insight app on page 22.
