Not really . The idea of changing channels is for when other broadband users ssids are interferring with yours  on the same 2.4ghz channel

Unfortunately, Sky only supports the band A 5Ghz manual channel when there is further spectrum available on 5Ghz band B & C that they could support but don't.

 

For better spectrum and channel selection, one needs to invest in better wireless router hardware.
