Select a channel number from the Channel drop-down list that is different from the channel
number listed as the Current Channel.
Note
: ARRIS recommends to use Channel 6 or 11, if it is not listed as the Current Channel. In the
Wi-Fi spectrum, there are multiple channels that overlap and thus degrade wireless network
performance. Channels 1, 6, and 11 are used for better network performance and stability
because they do not overlap.
