I have 1Gig wired internet to my home. It seems that almost everyday I have to use the Netgear Genie to change my channels because others have joined my channels which then causes me noticeable hangups. Thank-you for any help - in advance.
If you'll leave your WiFi channel selection at AUTO your life will be more pleasant
Remember as you try to tweak your channels your neighbors are doing the same
let the orbi figure it out. That's what auto is for.
