modify WLAN-channel | EX6200
Hi Folks, i am looking to modify the wifi channel, but i can't see any possibility to do that. When i am in setup of my range extender (WLAN ->Setup), the button for Wifi-channel(2,4GHz) is grey ...
Hey!
I've now modified the Wifi-channel of myspeedport v724v typeA to channel 9 and this channel was taken over by EX6200. So, it seems, that the extender have to use the same channel as the router...somehow logical :)
thanks!
Well, another short question: why i cannot see the 5GHz-Wifi, when searching through existing Wifi's? Do i have to have a special Wifi-Adapter in the computers? I tested both windows and mac-Machines. Only Mac shows the high-performance-Wifi..PCs can't show 5GHz. (Yes, i have turned it off as i wrote i the last post, but i just tested it now, and it seems that there is no 5GHz-Connection possible?
My Wifi-Adapter: Realtek RTL8723BE Wireless LAN 802.11n PCI-E NIC
Thanks in advance

Hey!
Thanks for the fast answer!
Nope, Fastlane is off. Extender works in basic mode. Furthermore I have turned off the 5GHz-Option, because this signal is not stable. 2,4Ghz works stable in these rooms..
So, i check my speedport-router for another channel. I will report, then :)
thanks!

Hello StepahanZabel
That is correct the wireless card in your device also has to support 5ghz in order to see the network.
