Model: Deco X68  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version:

I see that the new Wifi 7 devices are getting the ability to change wifi channels. My pair of x68's are currently gathering dust as they are unusable because they lack this feature.  They sit on the most congested channels and do not change which has resulted in extremely slow internet.  Can you please tell me if/when it is likely this feature will be rolled out to these devices?

Hi, welcome to the community.

I'm afraid there hasn't been any ETA for when this feature will be added to Deco X68?

Would there be a lot of smart IOT devices in the Home Network?

If you mainly wish to manually change the 2.4 GHz channels, the engineers helped us before request some beta versions that allow Deco units in the Mesh network to use non-overlapping 2.4 GHz channels to optimize the network performance.

Thank you very much.

Best regards.

  @David-TP 

thanks for the reply.  There's a few iot devices but the issue is the 5ghz band where the vast majority of my devices need the speed.  I have a 1000/50 internet connection and my main router is getting 500 and that is when I'm next to it.  Having both 5ghz channels sitting on 149 and 40 is really slow and the channels are congested.  Even if I could change the wireless backhaul channel around with the other channel would help.  I will end up putting my old router back in because I can change my channel to the right one and get 750 at the main router.

  @MERP Try Network Optimization feature once a day or you can turn ON Reboot Schedule so your Decos will reboot everyday at same time before you wake up.

  @ARGamingPK1 thanks for the suggestion but every time I use network optimisation the only channel that ever moves is the 2.4ghz. 5ghz never moves.  Says it's perfect. Reboots do nothing to improve the situation.

  @MERP If u set Reboot Schedule it will be very helpful for you so your Decos will choose best channel everyday.
