Network interference may occur at any time when using a wireless network connection. This
may be caused by other wireless access points that are using the same wireless channel as your
SBG6900-AC and are also operating within close proximity in your home. When experiencing
wireless network interference, changing the wireless channel on the SBG6900-AC can improve
network connectivity (or signal strength) and avoid network interference. By default, your
SBG6900-AC is set on Channel 1.
