Re: Wanting to change wifi max router 5ghz channel
@Db98 there is no way to msnually control the channel the Sky Max hub uses, it is 100% automatic. This is because like many other modern routers the hub can use partially restricted frequencies which can only be used if there is no higher priority user like a radsr station within range.
Use of non matched extenders is therefore difficult and it is not recommended. The recommended solution if you do not want to use Sky's WiFi Max pods is to turn off the hub's wifi and connect a third party wifi access point by Ethernet. This is how my own set up is connected.
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

@Db98 What make and model off extenders are you currently using with the sky Max hub?
