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.
