5.
Select the channel from the
Channel
list.
This setting is the wireless channel used by the gateway. Enter a value from 1 through
13. For products in the North America market, only Channels 1 through 11 can be
operated. 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. The default setting is
Auto
, which means that the router selects a
channel automatically.
Note:
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
five channels (for example, use Channels 1 and 6, or 6 and 11).
