Chanel set up 2.5 GHz & 5 GHz - which channels to use and do I overlay my HUB & AX6000?
Hi just set up an AX6000, need to fine Tune.
It is an extremely basic question I need to know.
Do I set up the 2.5GHz & 5GHz channels to be the same on the cable Hub and the AX6000 or not?
If n...
Thank you. I am trying to get the best wifi coverage I can, I live in a 1926 house that's got thick brick walls, not WiFi friendly. The AX600 is a wifi Access point attached to the router by a cat 6 cable. WiFi seems to be complex, currently, I observe that the internet speed on the Cat 6 does not drop, but the Wifi speed fluctuates. Hence the channel question above.

Which one? (See above.)
The only Netgear extender I can find with that specification is the EAX80.
Just ensure that the extender and the router are not on the same channels.
You'll have to work out what they are in now. There are various apps for phones that can tell you that.
I use Netgear's WiFi Analytics app for Android, among other things.
