Changing channel on EX2700 Extender

Is there a way to set the channel directly on the EX2700 so that its different than the router? It appears that I am getting interferrance when using the same channel between the router and the Ex2700. Using a WiFi tester I can see clear channels until I change the router (and the 2700) to the indicated clear channel, its no longer clear and other channel is now clear.

Thanks

Hello ronlhur

 

no way to do this as the extender follows the channel that the router is using.

Thanks, then is there any way to reduce the channel interferrence caused by the use of the same channel? Again, I see clear channels on an analyzer until the channels are assigned to those channels.

Hello ronlhur

 

As long as just your devices are on that channel it should be fine just stay away from channels that your neighbors wifi are on.
