MR63 5Ghz channel changing
Hello all, I have had my MR63 (MR60 + 2x Satellites) setup for a year now and has been rock solid until now. I have notice recently that the 5Ghz channel changes itself which is ok but it moves the...
It is a DFS channel. Channels 50-144 are DFS channels and will auto switch if they detect radar on those channels.

Yeah I thought that, I can't remember what the result was when I set it to one of the channels at the lower end of the scale but I'm pretty sure it moved itself from there too. I will try again but I'm sure it would have been something I would have tried. Unfortunatley the MR60 doesn't allow you to choose any channel lower than 36. Is the MR60 not compatable with 10, 20, 40Mhz channel width?
Cheers
10/20/40 channel width are different than the actual channels. The width (in simple terms) goes over how many channels they span across. For example, if you're using 80hz wide channels, even if you select channel 36, it spans from channels 36-44 because of the width.
