Need to change 2.4Ghz WiFi channel on Gigafast - Due to crowded channel being automatically picked
Hi,
I am needing to change my 2.4Ghz WiFi channge on my Gigafast connection as it picking the wrong one, however when I look at the settings on the router and Sky App, I am unable to change this.
As the screenshot below says, it selected the best channel and is being managed automatically, not allowing me to change it.
Also you can see below the WiFi Analyner when I am right by the Router/Hub and it can get worse as I move away from it.
It also recommends channels 3, 4, 8 and 9.
Regards,
Garry

@GazCBG yyou cannot manually change theWiFi channel the white Sky Max hub uses. The hub should pick the best channel automatically butvrestarting the hub may make it choose a better one.
65inch Sky Glass, 3 Sky Streaming Pucks, Sky Ultrafast + and Sky SR213(white Wifi Max hub) main Wifi from 3 TP-Link Deco M4 units in access point mode
