Wifi channel

[steven25]

Ever since I had my new Fibre router (Sage MCOMM) I set the 2.4ghz channel to 6 as the neighbours use 11 - but it keeps changing back to 11.

And on the 5ghz I set it to 60 as the neighbours use 36, but yet again it keeps changing back to 36.

I did this on my last router and you were able to rectify it for me and I would appreciate you doing the same thing again on my new router.

Also the internet speed some nights is dire dropping down to 35mbps - not much use when son is trying to play siege on the PS4

Can you help make it more stable ? and what is my minimum speed?

Channel selection is steady but the Wi Fi coverage is woeful. 

Have set the 2.4 wifi channel to 6 which is different  from the neighbours and the 5ghz channel to 64.

Cant get the 2.4ghz in the next room or upstairs. used to before. Thinking of getting a spare router for upstairs and putting it in bridge mode or consider installing a ceiling mounted access point directly form the internet switch. 

Can the wifi power level from the router be turned up ?

Hi @steven25 

How's the connection been since the WIFI optimisation was switched off?

Hi steven25

I've switched the WIFI optimisation off. It would also be worth powering down the router for a full 30 minutes and then running a speed test to see if the speed has increased.

Please let us know how you get on.

Thanks

Your minimum speed shows on the graph in My Connection (blue button in Service Status Dashboard) when you take a look at the speeds for the past week, @steven25.

Staff will switch off WiFi optimisation for you, when they pick up your post, during the day. 

You'll need to ask this to be done whenever you do a factory reset of the router or when it gets a firmware upgrade.
