Wifi Channel change
I have just bought an orbi32 wifi router and after setup I have used wifi analyzer app and the router is set to channel 4. This is the worst in quality channel in my home. How can I change the channel to say 8 or 10 etc. As these are the strongest signels.
Many thanks for any help

You can find what you're looking for in the router config area. Login to you router.
Not sure what you mean about channel 4 and how you determined that channel 8 & 10 are stronger. wifi analyzer reads your router as well as others around you. Your best bet is to set it to AUTO Channel. Your neighbors are trying to figure out the same thing. Auto will switch channels as needed.
Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz. The are main primary channels to use. Other channels are sub channels used by the wifi system.
