WiFi 6 AX1800 Dual Band Wireless Access Point WAX204 Your settings are saved. The 2.4 GHz radio restarts and WiFi clients might need to reconnect. Change the channel for a radio The available WiFi channels and frequencies depend on the region or country and the radio. For the 2.4 GHz radio, the default is Auto, which means that the radio automatically selects the most suitable channel. For the 5 GHz radio, the default channel depends on the region. When you select a particular channel, the channel selection becomes static. Note: You do not need to change the WiFi channel unless you experience interference (which is indicated by lost connections). Note: If you use multiple WiFi access points in your network, or your access point is close to another one, reduce interference by selecting different channels for adjacent access points. We recommend a channel spacing of four channels between adjacent access points (for example, for 2.4 GHz radios, use channels 1 and 5, or 6 and 10). To change the channel for a radio: 1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the access point network. 2. Enter http//www.routerlogin.net in the address field. If you are not connected to the access point network but to the same network as the access point, enter the IP address that is assigned to the access point. If you do not know the IP address, see Find the IP address of the access point when you cannot use routerlogin.net on page 27. A login window displays. If your browser does not display the login window but displays a security message and does not let you proceed, see Log in to the access point after initial setup on page 30. 3. Enter the access point local device password. The local device password is the one that you specified. The local device password is case-sensitive. The BASIC Home page displays. 4. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Wireless Settings. The Wireless Settings page displays. The lower part of the page is called the Advanced Wireless Settings page.
