There needs to be more control over which wifi channel the deco selects or atleast allow us to select non-overlapping channels or specify preffered channels.

I have just spent the best part of an hour trying to get my old phone connected but it couldn't even see the mesh network, the optimize network feature in the app finally changed the 2.4ghz channel from 12 to 6 and suddenly the phone could see the deco mesh network and connect. I feel users should have more control over this as the phone not being able to see the network has proven that letting the deco decide isn't always best for compatability. Old devices need connections too.

Also I've always been told that channels 1,6 and 11 are best for the 2.4ghz band as they do not overlap, but also I'm thinking some devices might not support channels over 11 as in the case of my old 2017 LG phone it couldn't even see the wifi mesh network until the deco's decided that channel 6 was better. I have been trying to optimize it over and over and it was only a stroke of luck it finally decided to change channel as it was reporting that everything was perfect until just then.

It would make troubleshooting manually easier also.

tl;dr old phone couldn't see the mesh network when it was using 2.4ghz channel 12 but could when it was using channel 6, there needs to be way to select preferred wifi channels rather than relying on the optimize feature in the app.
