I couldn't find a straight manual for that device but I did find how to login to it. You can use this to login to it. You should be able to navigate within this to the wireless settings to select the channel.

Best way to determine channel is with a wireless channel scanner to see what is the most congested. Channels 1-6-11 is recommended.
