Change wifi channel on Deco M9
Hi,
I´ve setup an Deco M9 system with 3pcs of nodes. Now I see in my home when I scan for other wifi devices that all of them is in the same range of wifi channels.
( Alarm system, Camera system and so on.. )
I would like to change the wifi channel on the Deco system to 8 or higher because they are free.
I cant find any way to do this in the Deco app.. Where can I do this?
Best Regards
Rickard

Hi, may I know the model number of this Car?
By the way, normally the US version would support channel 1-11, not channel 12 and 13;
Would restarting the Deco or clicking network optimization force the Deco to change to another Deco?
Thank you.

@TP-Link Tesla Model X 2017 year.
yes running network optimisation will sometimes randomly put it onto a useable channel.

Hi, Currently, there is still no plan to add support for manually changing the channel;
But the later firmware update will avoid using channels 12 and 13 for 2.4ghz in case some smart devices failed to detect the 2.4ghz;
Thank you.

I want my 3 tp-link mesh units to MANUALLY select channel 11.. but NO the Deco app says channels 1 or 6 ARE BEST !! as they have fewer clashes (for good reason) i.e.
electromagnetic interference from microwaves & neighbors' equipment ... but Deco & tp-link think they know better than me...It is VERY ARROGANT not to trust & listen to your loyal customers... As others have said one of your competitors have a better and more customisable mesh solution. If this issue isn't fixed by tp-link in Q3 of 2021 I WILL throw away your otherwise good kit (Covid & working from home has made this previously minor annoyance an untenable issue) You will lose years of my goodwill & recommendations of tp-link products to friends, acquaintances and work colleagues.

Also you could make a habit of placing as much honest reviews at TP-link product sites as possible with references to this thread, warning people of what they will have face when buying these products.

Not aiming at you specifically, you probably know what you are doing, but below is scan of WiFi networks that reach my house. First two networks are my Deco mesh, 5GHz and 2.4GHz, the rest are from neighbors. Notice something interesting in channel selection by these networks?
First time I saw that I was surprised, but then figured when people Google for "what is the best 2.4GHz WiFi channel" and told it is 1,6 and 11 - they set it manually in their router and forget about it.
Not that I complain: my Deco WiFi mesh is running with less interference because of that. Can't say the same about my neighbors.

Hi,
I have a 2 Deco devices and noticed both are using the same CH4.
Why not split, say CH4 and CH9?

One of the primary intents of a "mesh" is that client devices can seamlessly move from one area to another without 'dropping' a connection; that (currently) can't happen unless all the devices are using the same channel.
