Title: DAP-1320 channel selection
Post by: bezk on August 28, 2017, 09:27:12 AM

Hi all,

I would like to change the channel my wifi extender is broadcasting on. I can't find the section in the settings page.

Hardware version: B1
Firmware version:  2.03

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks,

Bez

• What region are you located?

Is the DAP operating in Extender mode or AP mode? If extender and it's connected to the main host router, then you can't change channels.

My region is EU.

Ah I see, it's operating in extender mode connected to main host router. I was wondering if I could change it to operate on another less busy channel. I'm fairly new to networking, does that not make practical sense?

Yes. So change the main host router to a different channel then power ON the DAP then you'll be good.

Primary channels to use are 1, 6, 11 and 13.
