@Bill81  2.4GHz normally runs on 1,6 or 11 and not 4 or 10. If you are looking to try to get a different 5GHz channel try re-start the router see if it gives you a different channel.

@Highlinder I have tried that the 5GHz stays on the same channel. There are 4 local users all on the same channel and there is some interference. The sky box will only give me 1 choice of channel or a different one at a wider bandwidth, perhaps I should use one of them. As far as 2.4GHz goes I ame given 1 choice again, not much of a choice, the channel 1 or 6 would be better my box is on 10 but I can't change it. I did switch off and on cut no change. Thanks

@Highlinder I have managed to change channels on both 2.4 and 5GHz. I'm now on channel 6 and 44. The options were ther but didn't recognise it. Thanks for the information you gave. The channel,s now are well away from other people's channels.
