R7000 Nighthawk Firmware Automatic Feature??

I select my WiFi channel on Netgear Genie and several dayls later there are other users on the same channel, slowing me down.  Then I have to manually go into Genie and change the channel so I am the only one on it.  However, I thought previous versions of the firmware would automatically change you to a different channel when several other users go onto the same one.  Current version, V1.0.9.42 does not automatically switch to another channel.  Is there possibly a setting for this.  Thanks to all who may offer a solution.

Thanks so much DarrenM.  Found it in the "Channel Selection" drop-down menu.

There should be a setting in the channel drop down that is Auto this should switch your channel on its own.
