Is there a way to change the wifi channel on Archer C6 v3.2 (2.4 GHz) to beyond 11. I have a lot of Wifi users in my Condo unit and the channel 11 is sometimes heavily overlapped leading to connection issues with my old laptop (only 2.4Ghz and I cannot use 5GHz as the location is far from the router).
I could shift to lower channels but based on the Wifi analyzer these are also heavily used in and around my flat. Awaiting a stable release on the Open WRT for this model; until then I hope to check any options available.
Refer to this document for setting the wireless channels.
You can scan for wireless interference around you with a tool like inSSIDer or WIFI Analyzer to choose the less crowded channel for you.
Channels 1-13 are available in Europe/Asia, while in North America they are 1-11 - refer to this article.
If your C6 is with a FW region which should allow wireless channels beyond 11, but you don't have these as an option contact your local support to be advised further.
