Annoyed my WiFi keeps switching to an occupied channel (1) causing connection losses.

Is it possible to "arrange for Wi-Fi optimisation technology to be switched off" on my line please?

I set it to a free channel on the spectrum (channel 5) then when I trouble shoot my raspberry pi connection drop I spot it has changed back to 5. From a different post I see it's possible for Talk talk to turn off the 'optimisation' that is possibly causing this with my SG4K100174 hub?

Hi Geofaf

I'm sorry to hear this.

Can I just check, have you recently tried rebooting the router?

Hi @Geofaf

Do you still need help with this?

Did you try rebooting the router?

You should never use channel 5 in the 2.4GHz band, only 1, 6 or 11. This might be why WiFi optimisation wants to move your channel.
