Reduce 2GHz channel width C7000-100NAS
Hi. I have C7000-100NAS that is working superb since 5 years! 1. 2 GHz issue: Recently I performed a reset and when I re-configured the router, I found that for the same chosen Channel 3 (2 GHz),...
Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz. These are suggested primary channels to use. All other channels are sub channels used by the wifi system.
If you have wifi neighbors near by, try reducing the power out put of the wifi radios from 100% to say 75 or 50%. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings.
Channel width is handle automatically by the modem system. I don't think you can set 20Mhz only any more.

- Hi FURRYe38,
Thanks for answering promptly! Unfortunately there is no way I could decrease signal strength (no choices 25%.... to 100%). However, your answer gave me food for thought. I decreased the max speed of 2 gigahertz signal from 600 Mbps to 287 Mbps and all of a sudden, the wireless signal channel width dropped! Earlier the graph spanned 8 channels, now it spans 4. I just need it for my wireless cameras and smart plugs, so I need just a few mbps speed. Decreased channel width should make bonding stable (just my thought!). So now I keep C7000 at channel 3 and R7800 as access point at channel 8 (with same SSID). They have no overlap with each other and since my neighbors are at 1, 6 and 11, they have least conflicts. I will see how my devices like the new setting!Ok, that would work too sounds like.
Hope it keeps working. Thanks for letting us know.
Enjoy.
